What should be subtracted from \(-\frac{2}{3}\) to get \(-1\)?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → \(\frac{1}{3}\)
If \(x\) is subtracted from \(-\frac{2}{3}\) to give \(-1\), then \(x\) is the first number minus the result.
\(\displaystyle -\frac{2}{3}-x=-1\)
\(\displaystyle x=-\frac{2}{3}+1=\frac{1}{3}\)
