Question

what number must be subtracted from 3/4 - 2/3 to get -1/6​

Answer 1

Answer:

(3/4 - 2/3) - (-1/6)

= (1/12) - (-1/6)

= 1/12 + 1/6

= 3/12 = 1/4

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

first

3/4-2/3 =

(9-1)/12  =  1/12

we get that

3/4-2/3 -x = -1/6            since we know the value of 3/4 - 2/3 we put the value

1/12 - x = -1/6                multiplying -1 both side

-1*({1/12} - x)  = -1*(-1/6)

x-(1/12) = 1/6

x = 1/6 + 1/12

x = (2 + 1 ) /12

x = 3 / 12

x = 1/4

therefore if we subtract 1/4 from 3/4 - 2/3 we get - 1/6
