a) $$x - 1 \frac{5}{7} = 2 \frac{1}{7}$$
$$x = 2 \frac{1}{7} + 1 \frac{5}{7}$$
$$x = 3 \frac{6}{7}$$
Ответ: $$3 \frac{6}{7}$$
б) $$ (12 \frac{5}{13} + y) - 9 \frac{9}{13} = 7 \frac{7}{13}$$
$$12 \frac{5}{13} + y = 7 \frac{7}{13} + 9 \frac{9}{13}$$
$$12 \frac{5}{13} + y = 16 \frac{16}{13}$$
$$12 \frac{5}{13} + y = 17 \frac{3}{13}$$
$$y = 17 \frac{3}{13} - 12 \frac{5}{13}$$
$$y = 16 \frac{16}{13} - 12 \frac{5}{13}$$
$$y = 4 \frac{11}{13}$$
Ответ: $$4 \frac{11}{13}$$
