a, \(\dfrac{x}{2}+\dfrac{3x}{4}=\dfrac{4}{5}\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{10x+15x}{20}=\dfrac{16}{20}\Rightarrow25x=16\Leftrightarrow x=\dfrac{16}{25}\)
b, \(\dfrac{3}{7}.\dfrac{5}{8}-\dfrac{3}{8}.\dfrac{13}{8}+\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{15}{56}-\dfrac{39}{64}+\dfrac{1}{7}\)
\(=\dfrac{120}{448}-\dfrac{273}{448}+\dfrac{64}{448}=-\dfrac{89}{448}\)
