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