Resolve the dissonant intervals.

The simplest answer is that in each case the root motion would move up a perfect 4th. So in the case of ii7 in the key of A Major, B, D, F#, and A would resolve up a fourth to E, G, B. The A (being the seventh of the chord) would resolve down to G.

But all that is WAY too oversimplified!!! These disonnances can resolve any number of different ways depending on the context.

'These disonnances can resolve any number of different ways ...'

Or not at all!

'... depending on the context.'

QED :o)

If you want to play diatonic of course, then play each
chord with just the upper and lower notes only. The
direction of flow is then more obvious ..
