The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem \((-2)/(9) - (4)/(9)\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the denominators The denominators of both fractions are the same, which is 9. ### Step 2: Combine the numerators Since the denominators are the same, we can combine the numerators directly: \[ (-2) - (4) = -2 - 4 = -6 \] So, we can write: \[ \frac{-2}{9} - \frac{4}{9} = \frac{-6}{9} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the fraction Now, we simplify \(\frac{-6}{9}\). Both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 3: \[ \frac{-6 \div 3}{9 \div 3} = \frac{-2}{3} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final answer is: \[ \frac{-2}{3} \] ---
