Answer: 9 1/3 - 2/3 = 8 2/3 .
___________________________________
Note: If the answer were "8 1/3" ;
then: "8 1/3 + 2/3 =? 9 1/3 ? "
→ "8 1/3 + 2/3 = 8 3/3 = 8 + 1 = 9 = only "9" ;
____________________________________________
So the answer has to be MORE than "8 1/3"
Try "8 2/3" → "8 2/3 + 2/3 =? 9 1/3?" ?? ;
→ "8 2/3 + 2/3 = 8 4/3 = 8 + 1 1/3 = 9 1/3 " → Yes!
_________________________________________________
So, the answer is: "8 2/3" .

Another method:
_________________
Given the problem: "<span>9 1/3 - 2/3 " ;
___________________________________
Note that: "2/3 = 1/3 + 1/3"
__________________________________
So, "</span><span>9 1/3 - 2/3 = 9 1/3 - (1/3 + 1/3) = 9 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = ?
________________________________________________
Start with: "</span>9 1/3 - 2/3" = 9. Then 9 - 1/3 = 8 3/3 - 1/3 = 8 2/3.
<span>______________________________________________________
</span>Another method:
____________________________
Given the problem:
____________________________
"9 1/3 - 2/3 = ?? " ;
____________________________
Convert "9 1/3" into "28/3" ; ("3*9 = 27"); ("27+1=28");
(The "3" comes from the "3" in the: "1/3" portion.)
_________________________________________________________
So, we rewrite as:
_____________________________________
28/3 - 2/3 = (28 - 2) / 3 = 26/3 ; or, 8 2/3 .

-16 + (-22) - 14
First, simplify your brackets. / Your problem should look like:
Second, subtract -16 - 22 - 14 to get -52. / Your problem should look like:
Answer:
-52
Simplify the expression:
7 - 5x - (3 + 5x)
Operate the parentheses. Each term changes its signs because the minus sign represents a -1:
7 - 5x - (3 + 5x) = 7 - 5x - 3 - 5x
Collect like terms:
7 - 5x - (3 + 5x) = 7 - 3 -5x - 5x
Simplify:
7 - 5x - (3 + 5x) = 4 - 10x
Answer: 4 - 10x
Basically, ur just solving for y
6x + 4y = 8...subtract 6x from both sides
4y = -6x + 8....now divide both sides by 4
y = (-6/4)x + 8/4...reduce
y = -3/2x + 2 <=== slope intercept form
