Question

What is the value of the expression (2/3 –1) + 2/3?

Answer 1

We have to find the value of the expression:

`((2)/(3)-1)+(2)/(3)`

We will do the operations inside the parenthesis, and thus we get:

`\begin{gathered} ((2-3)/(3))+(2)/(3) \\ =-(1)/(3)+(2)/(3) \\ =(-1+2)/(3) \\ =(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`

This means that the value of the expression is 1/3.
