Simplify 2/3x+(-3)+(-2)-1/3x

$\frac{2}{3} x + (- 3) + (- 2) - \frac{1}{3} x$

Step 1

Remove parentheses.

$\frac{2}{3} x - 3 - 2 - \frac{1}{3} x$

Step 2

Simplify each term.

Combine $\frac{2}{3}$ and $x$ .

$\frac{2 x}{3} - 3 - 2 - \frac{1}{3} x$

Combine $x$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ .

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

Step 3

Simplify terms.

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$- 3 - 2 + \frac{2 x - x}{3}$

Subtract $x$ from $2 x$ .

$- 3 - 2 + \frac{x}{3}$

Subtract $2$ from $- 3$ .

$- 5 + \frac{x}{3}$
