\[\textbf{а)}\ \left( \frac{3}{7} + \frac{1}{14} \right) + \left( \frac{3}{7} - \frac{1}{14} \right) =\]
\[= \frac{3}{7} + \frac{1}{14} + \frac{3}{7} - \frac{1}{14} = \frac{6}{7}\]
\[\textbf{б)}\ \left( \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{12} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{12} \right) =\]
\[= \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{2}{9}\]
