a, \(\dfrac{1}{7}\) x ( \(\dfrac{4}{3}\))2 - \(\dfrac{1}{7}\) : \(\dfrac{9}{11}\)
= \(\dfrac{1}{7}\) x \(\dfrac{16}{9}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{7}\) x \(\dfrac{11}{9}\)
= \(\dfrac{1}{7}\) x ( \(\dfrac{16}{9}-\dfrac{11}{9}\))
= \(\dfrac{1}{7}\) x \(\dfrac{5}{9}\)
= \(\dfrac{5}{63}\)
b, 2x + \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) = \(\dfrac{3}{5}\)
2x = \(\dfrac{3}{5}-\dfrac{1}{4}\)
2x = \(\dfrac{7}{20}\)
x = \(\dfrac{7}{20}:2\)
x = \(\dfrac{7}{40}\)
