You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(2 + \frac{6}{-3}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 2 + \frac{6}{-3} = 0 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{2}{1}\) and \(\frac{6}{-3}\) is \(3\). \[ \begin{aligned} 2 + \frac{6}{-3} &= \frac{2 \cdot 3}{1 \cdot 3} + \frac{6 \cdot -1}{-3 \cdot -1} \\ &= \frac{6 + -6}{3} \\ &= \frac{0}{3} \\&= 0 \end{aligned} \]
