Answer:

9 1/3

Explanation:

Make 2/3 , 1/2 , & 1/6 have the same denominator. 6 is the least common multiple for all 3 fractions.

2/3 gets multiplied by 2/2

1/2 gets multiplied by 3/3

1/6 stays the same

2/3 becomes 4/6

1/2 becomes 3/6

1/6 stays 1/6

Follow the order of operations from the original equation.

4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6 then 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6

6 - 1 = 5 then 5 + 4 = 9

Simplify 2/6 to 1/3

Remember to add 1/3 back to 9 making it 9 1/3
