I wish you were using parentheses here. I must assume (without knowing for sure) that y ou mean

a - 3/7
----------
3 - a/21

The LCD here is 21, since 7 divides into 21 without a remainder.

Thus, multiply numerator and denominator by 21:


21a - 9
-----------
63 - a

You could leave this result as is, or you could factor out 3:

7a-3
3 ---------
63-a
