The image shows the following expression to solve:

\[
\frac{4}{7} - \frac{5}{21} + \frac{9}{14}
\]

### Steps to solve:
1. **Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD):**
   The denominators are 7, 21, and 14. The least common denominator of these is 42.

2. **Convert each fraction to have the denominator of 42:**
   \[
   \frac{4}{7} = \frac{4 \times 6}{7 \times 6} = \frac{24}{42}
   \]
   \[
   \frac{5}{21} = \frac{5 \times 2}{21 \times 2} = \frac{10}{42}
   \]
   \[
   \frac{9}{14} = \frac{9 \times 3}{14 \times 3} = \frac{27}{42}
   \]

3. **Perform the indicated operations:**
   Now the expression becomes:
   \[
   \frac{24}{42} - \frac{10}{42} + \frac{27}{42}
   \]

   Combine the numerators:
   \[
   24 - 10 + 27 = 41
   \]

   So, the result is:
   \[
   \frac{41}{42}
   \]

Thus, the simplified answer is \(\frac{41}{42}\).
