a) \(\dfrac{5}{3}+\left(-\dfrac{2}{7}\right)-\left(-1,2\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{5}{3}-\dfrac{2}{7}+\dfrac{6}{5}\)
\(=\dfrac{175}{105}-\dfrac{30}{105}+\dfrac{126}{105}\)
\(=\dfrac{271}{105}\)
b) \(\dfrac{-4}{9}+\left(\dfrac{-5}{6}\right)-\dfrac{17}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{-4}{9}-\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{17}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{-16}{36}-\dfrac{30}{36}-\dfrac{153}{36}\)
\(=\dfrac{-199}{36}\)
