a: \(=\dfrac{1}{7}\cdot\dfrac{17}{5}-\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot\dfrac{2-7}{12}\)
\(=\dfrac{17}{35}-\dfrac{-15}{24}\)
\(=\dfrac{17}{35}+\dfrac{15}{24}=\dfrac{311}{280}\)
b: \(=\dfrac{25}{77}-\dfrac{3-7}{15}\cdot\dfrac{10}{11}:\dfrac{3}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{25}{77}+\dfrac{4}{15}\cdot\dfrac{10}{11}\cdot\dfrac{4}{3}\)
\(=\dfrac{25}{77}+\dfrac{32}{99}=\dfrac{449}{693}\)
