Solve 1/2-(1+-1/2)

$$\frac { 1 } { 2 } - ( 1 + \frac { - 1 } { 2 } )$$

Evaluate

$$0$$

Solution Steps

Fraction \frac{-1}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{2} by extracting the negative sign.

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

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

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

Since \frac{2}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.

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

Subtract \frac{1}{2} from \frac{1}{2} to get 0.

$$0$$

Factor

$$0$$
