Answer

$\dfrac{-13}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Using order of operations, the expression $ 5(-2)-(-3)-\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{2}{3} $ simplifies to \begin{array}{l} -10+3-\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{2}{3} \\\\= -7-\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{2}{3} \\\\= \dfrac{6(-7)-1(1)+2(2)}{6} \\\\= \dfrac{-42-1+4}{6} \\\\= \dfrac{-39}{6} \\\\= \dfrac{-13}{2} .\end{array}
