a: \(\dfrac{1}{x^2+9x+20}+\dfrac{1}{x^2+11x+30}+\dfrac{1}{x^2+13x+42}=\dfrac{1}{18}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{1}{x+4}-\dfrac{1}{x+5}+\dfrac{1}{x+5}-\dfrac{1}{x+6}+\dfrac{1}{x+6}-\dfrac{1}{x+7}=\dfrac{1}{18}\)
=>\(\dfrac{x+7-x-4}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)}=\dfrac{1}{18}\)
=>(x+4)(x+7)=54
=>x^2+11x+28-54=0
=>(x+13)(x-2)=0
=>x=-13 hoặc x=2
b: \(\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{1}{x+1}-\dfrac{1}{x+2}+\dfrac{1}{x+2}-...+\dfrac{1}{x+4}-\dfrac{1}{x+5}=\dfrac{1}{3}\)
=>\(\dfrac{x+5-x-1}{\left(x+5\right)\left(x+1\right)}=\dfrac{1}{3}\)
=>x^2+6x+5=12
=>x^2+6x-7=0
=>(x+7)(x-1)=0
=>x=-7 hoặc x=1
