Answer:

We need to subtract \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that for subtracting - \frac{2}{3} from a number to get -1 we will just simply subtract the later from the former given fraction which is - \frac{2}{3}

Therefore we have to do as follows:

Let the number that needs to be subtracted be n, therefore have:

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

- x = - 1 + \frac{2}{3}

-x = \frac{-3 +2}{3}

⇒ - x = - \frac{1}{3}

⇒ x = \frac{1}{3}

Hence \frac{1}{3} needs to be subtracted so that we get -1 as the difference.

  • We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

             Given data:- (-\frac{2}{3})-x=  -1.

             To find:- Value of the expression.

             Solution:-

  • Let assume x to find the missing term.
  • Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.
  • By using the transposition method.

         we get,

        -\frac{2}{3}-x=-1\\=>-\frac{2}{3}-x=-1 \\=>-x-\frac{2}{3}=-1\\=>-x=-1+\frac{2}{3}\\=>-x=-\frac{1}{3}\\=>x=\frac{1}{3}\\

      Hence we will get (-\frac{2}{3})-\frac{1}{3}=  -1.
