a: \(\left(24-234\right)+\left(234-24-77\right)\)
\(=24-234+234-24-77\)
\(=\left(24-24\right)+\left(234-234\right)-77\)
=0+0-77
=-77
b: \(\left(13-135+49\right)-\left(13+49\right)\)
\(=13-135+49-13-49\)
\(=\left(13-13\right)+\left(49-49\right)-135\)
=0+0-135
=-135
c: \(159-524-\left(59-424\right)\)
\(=159-524-59+424\)
\(=\left(159-59\right)-\left(524-424\right)\)
=100-100
=0
d: \(\left(36+79\right)+\left(145-79-36\right)\)
\(=36+79+145-79-36\)
\(=\left(36-36\right)+\left(79-79\right)+145\)
=0+0+145
=145
e: \(334-\left(117+234\right)+\left(42+117\right)\)
\(=334-117-234+42+117\)
\(=\left(334-234\right)+\left(117-117\right)+42\)
=100+0+42
=142
f: \(271-\left[\left(-43\right)+271-\left(-17\right)\right]\)
\(=271+43-271+\left(-17\right)\)
\(=\left(271-271\right)+\left(43-17\right)\)
=0+26
=26
