Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{3}\left(-8\right)-2=-2$$

Multiply \frac{1}{3} and -8 to get \frac{-8}{3}.

$$\frac{-8}{3}-2=-2$$

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

$$-\frac{8}{3}-2=-2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{6}{3}.

$$-\frac{8}{3}-\frac{6}{3}=-2$$

Since -\frac{8}{3} and \frac{6}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-8-6}{3}=-2$$

Subtract 6 from -8 to get -14.

$$-\frac{14}{3}=-2$$

Convert -2 to fraction -\frac{6}{3}.

$$-\frac{14}{3}=-\frac{6}{3}$$

Compare -\frac{14}{3} and -\frac{6}{3}.

$$\text{false}$$
