Solve -2/3-(-1)-4

$$- \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } -(-1)-4$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{11}{3}\approx -3.666666667$$

Solution Steps

The opposite of -1 is 1.

$$-\frac{2}{3}+1-4$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{3}{3}.

$$-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{3}-4$$

Since -\frac{2}{3} and \frac{3}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-2+3}{3}-4$$

Add -2 and 3 to get 1.

$$\frac{1}{3}-4$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{12}{3}.

$$\frac{1}{3}-\frac{12}{3}$$

Since \frac{1}{3} and \frac{12}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{1-12}{3}$$

Subtract 12 from 1 to get -11.

$$-\frac{11}{3}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{11}{3} = -3\frac{2}{3} = -3.6666666666666665$$
