To solve 1/2 - 5/3 = 2, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The least common denominator for 2 and 3 is 6.
Convert the fractions to have a denominator of 6:
1/2 = 3/6
5/3 = 10/6
Now we can rewrite the equation:
3/6 - 10/6 = 2
-7/6 = 2
Now we can solve for 2 by adding 7/6 to both sides:
-7/6 + 7/6 = 2 + 7/6
0 = 2 + 7/6
0 = 12/6 + 7/6
0 = 19/6
Therefore, the solution to 1/2 - 5/3 = 2 is 19/6.
