​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider x

3

−2

−x=

6

−1

Solving for x,

x=

3

−2

−

6

−1

By taking LCM of 3 and 6 is 6

6

(−2×2)−(−1×1)

=

6

−4−(−1)

=

6

−4+1

=

6

−3

we further can divide to lowest terms,

6÷3

−3÷3

=

2

−1

x=

2

−1

∴

2

−1

should be subtracted from

3

−2

to get

6

−1

.
