Question

What number should be subtracted from $\frac{-5}{3}$ to get $\frac{5}{6}?$

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Let}x\mathrm{be}\mathrm{subtracted}. \\ \therefore \frac{-5}{3}-x=\frac{5}{6} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{-5}{3}-\frac{5}{6} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{-10}{6}-\frac{5}{6} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{-10-5}{6}=\frac{-15}{6}=\frac{-5}{2} \end{gathered}$$
