-2/3x5/6-3/18+2/9
To solve the expression -2/3x5/6-3/18+2/9, we can follow the order of operations, which is typically done as follows:
Step 1: Simplify any multiplication or division from left to right.
Step 2: Simplify any addition or subtraction from left to right.
Let's calculate -2/3x5/6 first:
-2/3 x 5/6 = (-2 x 5) / (3 x 6) = -10/18.
Now let's simplify the whole expression:
-10/18 - 3/18 + 2/9 = (-10 - 3 + 4) / 18 = -9/18 = -1/2.
Therefore, the simplified result is -1/2.
