Solution Steps

Express -\frac{2}{3}\times 4 as a single fraction.

$$1=\frac{-2\times 4}{3}+6$$

Multiply -2 and 4 to get -8.

$$1=\frac{-8}{3}+6$$

Fraction \frac{-8}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{8}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$1=-\frac{8}{3}+6$$

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{18}{3}.

$$1=-\frac{8}{3}+\frac{18}{3}$$

Since -\frac{8}{3} and \frac{18}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$1=\frac{-8+18}{3}$$

Add -8 and 18 to get 10.

$$1=\frac{10}{3}$$

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

$$\frac{3}{3}=\frac{10}{3}$$

Compare \frac{3}{3} and \frac{10}{3}.

$$\text{false}$$
