a: \(=-8\cdot\left(\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4}\right):\left(\dfrac{9}{4}-\dfrac{7}{6}\right)\)
\(=-8\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}:\dfrac{27-14}{12}\)
\(=-4\cdot\dfrac{12}{13}=\dfrac{-48}{13}\)
b: \(=\left(\dfrac{10}{3}+\dfrac{5}{2}\right):\left(\dfrac{19}{6}-\dfrac{21}{5}\right)-\dfrac{11}{31}\)
\(=\dfrac{35}{6}:\dfrac{-31}{30}-\dfrac{11}{31}\)
\(=\dfrac{-35}{6}\cdot\dfrac{30}{31}-\dfrac{11}{31}=-6\)
