Solve -7/3+3/2/2-1

$$\frac { - \frac { 7 } { 3 } + \frac { 3 } { 2 } } { 2 - 1 }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{5}{6}\approx -0.833333333$$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6. Convert -\frac{7}{3} and \frac{3}{2} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$\frac{-\frac{14}{6}+\frac{9}{6}}{2-1}$$

Since -\frac{14}{6} and \frac{9}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{\frac{-14+9}{6}}{2-1}$$

Add -14 and 9 to get -5.

$$\frac{-\frac{5}{6}}{2-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.

$$\frac{-\frac{5}{6}}{1}$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$-\frac{5}{6}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{5}{6} = -0.8333333333333334$$
