$$2+ \frac{ 8 }{ 21 } -6$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{76}{21}\approx -3.619047619$$

Solution Steps

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{42}{21}.

$$\frac{42}{21}+\frac{8}{21}-6$$

Since \frac{42}{21} and \frac{8}{21} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{42+8}{21}-6$$

Add 42 and 8 to get 50.

$$\frac{50}{21}-6$$

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{126}{21}.

$$\frac{50}{21}-\frac{126}{21}$$

Since \frac{50}{21} and \frac{126}{21} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{50-126}{21}$$

Subtract 126 from 50 to get -76.

$$-\frac{76}{21}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{76}{21} = -3\frac{13}{21} = -3.619047619047619$$
