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

Evaluate

$$\frac{8}{3}\approx 2.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Fraction \frac{-2}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{2}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

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

The opposite of -\frac{2}{3} is \frac{2}{3}.

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

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

$$\frac{6}{3}+\frac{2}{3}$$

Since \frac{6}{3} and \frac{2}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{6+2}{3}$$

Add 6 and 2 to get 8.

$$\frac{8}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {3}}{3} = 2\frac{2}{3} = 2.6666666666666665$$
