7/8-3/4(2-1/6)-2/3
= 7/8 - 3/2 + 1/8 - 2/3
= 21/24 - 36/24 + 3/24 - 16/24
= -28/24
= -7/6
You are correct !
Notice you evaluated the bracket first, I used the distributive property.
Of course we have to end up with the same result, since both methods are valid.
Thanks
Thank you for telling me how you did it, even though we got the same answer
