You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{-54}{6} - -3\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{-54}{6} - -3 = -6 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{-54}{6}\) and \(\frac{3}{1}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{-54}{6} - -3 &= \frac{-54 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} + \frac{3 \cdot 6}{1 \cdot 6} \\ &= \frac{-54 + 18}{6} \\ &= \frac{-36}{6} \\&= -6 \end{aligned} \]
