To find the expression that makes the equation \( A = 5 - 3 \) true, we first calculate \( 5 - 3 \):
\[
5 - 3 = 2
\]
So, we need to determine which of the given expressions is equal to 2.
Let's evaluate each option:
1. \( A = 1 \frac{2}{3} \): This is equal to \( 1.666... \) (or \( \frac{5}{3} \)), which is not equal to 2.
2. \( A = \frac{1}{3} \): This is clearly not equal to 2.
3. \( A = 12 - 13 \): This equals \( -1 \), which is not equal to 2.
4. \( A = 15 + 1 \): This equals \( 16 \), which is not equal to 2.
5. \( A = -1 \frac{2}{3} + 3 \): This simplifies to \( -\frac{5}{3} + 3 \) or \( -\frac{5}{3} + \frac{9}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \), which is not equal to 2.
None of the options provided equal 2, indicating there may have been a misinterpretation or typo in the options listed.
Can you double-check the expressions given or clarify if there's any additional context?
