Answer: the answer is 1/4

Explanation:

3/4 +1/6=11/12 (to add/subtract fractions you need to find LCD and then combine)

after you get 11/12 subtract it from 2/3= 1/4 (to add/subtract fractions you need to find LCD and then combine)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Multiply and Divide both sides (3/4)

3/4 +1/16 - 2/3

= 3/4

Step 2: Multiply and Divide both sides (1/6)

3/4 + 1/6 - 2/3

= 1/6

Step 3: Multiply and Divide both sides (2/3)

3/4 + 1/6 - 2/3

= 2/3

Step 4: Add and Subtract both sides (3/4 + 1/6 - 2/3)

3/4 + 1/6 = 11/12

11/12 - 2/3

11/12 - 2/3 = 1/4

= 1/4

Explanation in words:

- The first step is to multiply and divide both sides by 3/4.

- The second step is to multiply and divide both sides by 1/6.

- The third step is to multiply and divide both sides by 2/3.

- The last step is to add and subtract both sides and the answer will end up being 1/4.
