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 .

Q4. The diagram shows a triangle inside a rectangle.
Yanka [14]

The prove to show that the area of the shaded portion is 18x  - 30 is as follows: 3x² + 13x - 30 - 3x² + 5x = 18x  - 30

<h3>How to find the area of the shaded region?</h3>

The area of the shaded region can be represented as follows:

area of the shaded region = area of rectangle - area of triangle

Therefore,

area of the rectangle = (x + 6)(3x - 5)

area of the rectangle = 3x² - 5x + 18x - 30

area of the rectangle = 3x² + 13x - 30

area of triangle = 1 / 2 × 2x × 3x - 5

area of triangle = 3x² - 5x

Therefore,

area of the shaded portion =  3x² + 13x - 30 - 3x² + 5x

area of the shaded portion = 18x  - 30
