Question

What number should be subtracted from -2/3 to get
-1/6​

Answer 1

Let , the unknown number be x

$\fbox{\fbox{\bold{ \large{Given \: \: }}}}$

$\to \bold{\large{\frac{- 2}{3} - x = \frac{ - 1}{6}} }$

$\fbox{ \fbox{ \bold{ \large{ \: \: To \: Find \: \: \: }}}}$

$\to \bold{ x = \: \bold{?} }$

$\fbox{ \fbox{ \bold{ \large{ \: \: \: Solution \: \: \: \: }}}}$

$\to \bold{\frac{ - 2}{3} - x = \frac{ - 1}{6} } \\ \\ \to \bold{x = \frac{1}{6} - \frac{2}{3} } \\ \\ \to \bold{x = \frac{1 - 4}{6}} \\ \\ \to \bold{x = \frac{ - 3}{6} } \\ \\ \to\bold{ x = \frac{ - 1}{2} }$

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-3/6

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2/3 ) - x = -1/6

-x = -1/6 + 2/3

Lcm = 6

-x = -1/6 + 4/6

-x = 3/6

x = -3/6
