a, \(\dfrac{15}{34}+\dfrac{7}{21}+\dfrac{19}{34}-\dfrac{20}{15}+\dfrac{3}{7}\)
= \(\left(\dfrac{15}{34}+\dfrac{19}{34}\right)+\left(\dfrac{7}{21}+\dfrac{3}{7}\right)-\dfrac{20}{15}\)
= 1 + \(\dfrac{16}{21}-\dfrac{20}{15}\)
= \(\dfrac{3}{7}\)
b, \(\dfrac{27}{25}+\dfrac{4}{21}-\dfrac{2}{25}+\dfrac{17}{21}-\dfrac{1}{2}\)
= \(\left[\dfrac{27}{25}+\left(-\dfrac{2}{25}\right)\right]+\left(\dfrac{4}{21}-\dfrac{7}{21}\right)-\dfrac{1}{2}\)
= 1 + \(\left(\dfrac{-1}{7}\right)-\dfrac{1}{2}\) = \(\dfrac{5}{14}\)
