Answer:
[tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following question:
[tex]-2\frac{1}{3} -(-5)[/tex]
To find the answer to this question we will use KCF (Keep, Change, Change) because we are subtracting from a negative. Then we find the common denominator and subtract the numerators.
[tex]-2\frac{1}{3} -(-5)[/tex]
[tex]-5=\frac{-5}{1}[/tex]
[tex]-2\frac{1}{3} =3\times-2=-6+-1=-7=\frac{-7}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{-7}{3} -\frac{-5}{1}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{-7}{3} \times1=\frac{-7}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{-5}{1} \times3=\frac{-15}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{-7}{3} -\frac{-15}{3}[/tex]
[tex]-7+15=\frac{8}{3} =8\div3=2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Hope this helps.
