Solve frac{sqrt{3}}{3}-3

$$\frac { \sqrt { 3 } } { 3 } - 3$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}-3\approx -2.422649731$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 3 times \frac{3}{3}.

$$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}-\frac{3\times 3}{3}$$

Since \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} and \frac{3\times 3}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{\sqrt{3}-3\times 3}{3}$$

Do the multiplications in \sqrt{3}-3\times 3.

$$\frac{\sqrt{3}-9}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{\sqrt{3} - 9}{3} = -2.4226497308103743$$
