Решим каждое выражение отдельно:
a) $$-34 + 18 + (-20) + (-16) + 42 = -34 + 18 - 20 - 16 + 42 = -16 - 20 - 16 + 42 = -36 - 16 + 42 = -52 + 42 = -10$$
б) $$-7\frac{4}{7} \cdot 5\frac{3}{8}: 4 = -\frac{53}{7} \cdot \frac{43}{8} : 4 = -\frac{53 \cdot 43}{7 \cdot 8} : 4 = -\frac{2279}{56} : 4 = -\frac{2279}{56} \cdot \frac{1}{4} = -\frac{2279}{224} = -10\frac{39}{224}$$
в) $$-\frac{6}{13} \cdot 3.8 - 3.8 \cdot \frac{7}{13} = 3.8 \cdot (-\frac{6}{13} - \frac{7}{13}) = 3.8 \cdot (-\frac{6+7}{13}) = 3.8 \cdot (-\frac{13}{13}) = 3.8 \cdot (-1) = -3.8$$
Ответ: a) -10; б) $$-10\frac{39}{224}$$; в) -3.8
