Question

What should be subtracted from -2/3 to get -5/6.

Answer 1

$\mathbb{ answer }$

➡ Let x be subtracted from -2/3 to get -5/6

According to the question,

-2/3 - X = -5/6

=> -2-3x/3 = -5/6

=> 6(-2 - 3x) = -5 * 3 (Cross multiply)

=> -12 - 18x = -15

=> -18x = -15 + 12

=> -18x = -3

=> X = -3/18

=> X = -1/6

So mate -1/6 should be subtracted from -2/3 to get -5/6
