Solution :-

Let us consider a number as x to be subtracted from \( \dfrac{-5}{3}\) to get \( \dfrac{5}{6}\)

So, \( \dfrac{-5}{3}-x= \dfrac{5}{6}\)

x = \( \dfrac{-5}{3}- \dfrac{5}{6}\)

let us take LCM for 3 and 6 which is 6

x =\(\dfrac{ (-5×2 – 5×1)}{6}\)

= \(\dfrac{ (-10 – 5)}{6}\)

\(\dfrac{-15}{6}\)

Further we can divide by 3 we get,

\( \dfrac{-15}{6}=\dfrac{-5}{2}\)

the required number is \( \dfrac{-5}{2}\)
