\(\begin{array}{l}a)x - \left( {\dfrac{5}{4} - \dfrac{7}{5}} \right) = \dfrac{9}{{20}}\\x = \dfrac{9}{{20}} + \left( {\dfrac{5}{4} - \dfrac{7}{5}} \right)\\x = \dfrac{9}{{20}} + \dfrac{{25}}{{20}} - \dfrac{{28}}{{20}}\\x = \dfrac{{6}}{{20}}\\x = \dfrac{{ 3}}{{10}}\end{array}\)
Vậy \(x = \dfrac{{ 3}}{{10}}\)
\(\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{b)9 - x = \dfrac{8}{7} - \left( { - \dfrac{7}{8}} \right)}\\\begin{array}{l}9 - x = \dfrac{8}{7} + \dfrac{7}{8}\\9 - x = \dfrac{{64}}{{56}} + \dfrac{{49}}{{56}}\\9 - x = \dfrac{{113}}{{56}}\end{array}\\{x = 9 - \dfrac{{113}}{{56}}}\\{x = \dfrac{{504}}{{56}} - \dfrac{{113}}{{56}}}\\{x = \dfrac{{391}}{{56}}}\end{array}\)
Vậy \(x = \dfrac{{391}}{{56}}\)
