a) $$3\frac{8}{9} - x = 1\frac{5}{9}$$
$$x = 3\frac{8}{9} - 1\frac{5}{9}$$
$$x = 2\frac{3}{9} = 2\frac{1}{3}$$
б) $$(y - 8\frac{12}{19}) + 1\frac{7}{19} = 0$$
$$y - 8\frac{12}{19} = -1\frac{7}{19}$$
$$y = 8\frac{12}{19} - 1\frac{7}{19}$$
$$y = 7\frac{5}{19}$$
Ответ: a) $$2\frac{1}{3}$$, б) $$7\frac{5}{19}$$
