Solve -2(-2/3)-3/3

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{3}\approx 0.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Divide 3 by 3 to get 1.

$$-2\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)-1$$

Express -2\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right) as a single fraction.

$$\frac{-2\left(-2\right)}{3}-1$$

Multiply -2 and -2 to get 4.

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

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

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

Since \frac{4}{3} and \frac{3}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.

$$\frac{1}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{3} = 0.3333333333333333$$
