which equation can be used to represent the statement? the sum of one-sixth of a number and negative two is equal to negative two-thirds

Respuesta :

1/6a+(-2)=-2/3. The / is used for the fraction bar.

[tex]\frac{1}{6}x+(-2)=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]


Let

x------> the number

we know that

one-sixth in number is equal to [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

negative two in number is equal to [tex]-2[/tex]

negative two-thirds in number is equal to [tex]-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

so

the complete statement

the sum of one-sixth of a number and negative two is equal to negative two-thirds

represent the equation

[tex]\frac{1}{6}x+(-2)=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
