Answer:

Addition property

Step-by-step explanation:

#We first solve to see which property will result to -5/6 + 2

-The last two parts of the expression have similar denominators, so we can add them like like like terms:

#Open brackets:

[tex](-\frac{5}{6}+\frac{1}{3})+\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

#Add for the terms with similar denominators:

[tex]=-\frac{5}{6}+[\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{3}]\\\\=-\frac{5}{6}+\frac{6}{3}\\\\\#Simplify\\\\=-\frac{5}{6}+2[/tex]

Hence, the property used to simplify is addition
