a)
\(152-\left(374+152\right)+\left(-65+374\right)\)
= \(152-374-152-65+374\)
= \(\left(152-152\right)+\left(374-374\right)-65=-65\)
b)
13 - 12 + 11 + 10 - 9 + 8 - 7 - 6 -5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1
= \(-7+\left(13+11+10+8\right)-\left(1+2+3+4+5+6+9+12\right)\)
= \(-7+42-42\)
= -7
2)
\(-\left(a-b-c\right)+\left(-c+b+a\right)-\left(a+b\right)\)
= \(-a+b+c-c+b+a-a-b\)
= \(\left(-a+a-a\right)+\left(b+b-b\right)+\left(c-c\right)\)
= -a + b
= b - a
