Answer:

[tex]6\frac{1}{3} or \frac{19}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

=8+1/2−2−1/6

Solving the whole number parts

8−2=6

Solving the fraction parts

1/2−1/6=?

Find the LCD of 1/2 and 1/6 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 6

3/6−1/6=2/6

Reducing the fraction part, 2/6,

2/6=1/3

Combining the whole and fraction parts

6+1/3=6 1/3
