Solve 2n/3-2

$$\frac { 2 n } { 3 } - 2$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{2\left(n-3\right)}{3}$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 2 times \frac{3}{3}.

$$\frac{2n}{3}-\frac{2\times 3}{3}$$

Since \frac{2n}{3} and \frac{2\times 3}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{2n-2\times 3}{3}$$

Do the multiplications in 2n-2\times 3.

$$\frac{2n-6}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2\left(n-3\right)}{3}$$

Solution Steps

Factor out \frac{2}{3}.

$$\frac{2\left(n-3\right)}{3}$$
