Question

$$\frac{ 2(-1)-5 }{ 3 }$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{7}{3}\approx -2.333333333$

Solution Steps

Multiply $2$ and $-1$ to get $-2$.

$$\frac{-2-5}{3}$$

Subtract $5$ from $-2$ to get $-7$.

$$\frac{-7}{3}$$

Fraction $\frac{-7}{3}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{7}{3}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{7}{3}$$

Factor

$-\frac{7}{3} = -2\frac{1}{3} = -2.3333333333333335$
