x = -2/3 + 1/6

= -4/6 + 1/6

(-4 + 1)/6

-3/6

hope it helps uu dear

Answer 2

Heya user! Here is your answer☺

Let x be thr number.

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

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

Now, we will take the LCM of 4 and 6 i.e. both the denominators.

LCM of 4 and 6 is 12

x = $\frac{-2×4}{3×4}$ = $\frac{-8}{12}$

$\frac{-1×2}{6×2}$ = $\frac{-2}{12}$

x = $\frac{-8-2}{12}$

x = $\frac{-10}{12}$



Hence, the required number is $\frac{-10}{12}$
