Solve =+4--6+-2/1-5

$$= + 4 - - 6 + - \frac { 2 } { 1 - 5 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{21}{2}=10.5$$

Solution Steps

The opposite of -6 is 6.

$$4+6-\frac{2}{1-5}$$

Add 4 and 6 to get 10.

$$10-\frac{2}{1-5}$$

Subtract 5 from 1 to get -4.

$$10-\frac{2}{-4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{-4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$10-\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$$

The opposite of -\frac{1}{2} is \frac{1}{2}.

$$10+\frac{1}{2}$$

Convert 10 to fraction \frac{20}{2}.

$$\frac{20}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Since \frac{20}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{20+1}{2}$$

Add 20 and 1 to get 21.

$$\frac{21}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 7}{2} = 10\frac{1}{2} = 10.5$$
