11
Hey,
Let the number be x. Then
x+2/3 = -11/14 …(1)
The LCM of 3 and 14 is 42, hence (1) becomes
42x + 28 = -33, or
42 x = -33–28 = -61, or
x = -61/42. So you need to add 2/3 to -61/42 to give you -11/14.
Check: 2/3–61/42 = (28–61)/42 = -33/42 = -11/14. Correct.
The answer is -61/42.

Subtract it to find the answer.
First get the LCM which is 42.
Then the equation is.. 33/42 - 28/42 = 5/42 which is your answer.
