You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{14}{3} - 2\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{14}{3} - 2 = \frac{8}{3} = 2.\overline{6} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{14}{3}\) and \(\frac{-2}{1}\) is \(3\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{14}{3} - 2 &= \frac{14 \cdot 1}{3 \cdot 1} + \frac{-2 \cdot 3}{1 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{14 + -6}{3} \\ &= \frac{8}{3} \end{aligned} \]
