Question

what must be subtracted from -2/3 to get --1/6​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

-2/3-x=-1/6

-x=-1/6+2/3

-x=-1/6+4/6

-x=3/6

x=-3/6

x=-1/2

-1/2 is the right answer

Verify

-2/3-1/2=-1/6

-4/6-(-3/6)=-1/6

-4/6+3/6=-1/6

-1/6=-1/6

LHS=RHS

HOPE IT HELPS ✌✌

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

→ let the number be x

→ equation formed

→ -2/3 - x = -1/6

→ -x = -1/6 + 2/3

→ -x = -1*1/6*1 + 2*2/3*2

→ -x = -1/6 + 4/6

→ -x = -3/6

→ -x = -1/2

→ x = 1/2
