Solve 14/2+[-5/9]+[-18]

$$\frac { 14 } { 2 } + [ \frac { - 5 } { 9 } ] + [ - 18 ]$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{104}{9}\approx -11.555555556$$

Solution Steps

Divide 14 by 2 to get 7.

$$7+\frac{-5}{9}-18$$

Fraction \frac{-5}{9} can be rewritten as -\frac{5}{9} by extracting the negative sign.

$$7-\frac{5}{9}-18$$

Convert 7 to fraction \frac{63}{9}.

$$\frac{63}{9}-\frac{5}{9}-18$$

Since \frac{63}{9} and \frac{5}{9} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{63-5}{9}-18$$

Subtract 5 from 63 to get 58.

$$\frac{58}{9}-18$$

Convert 18 to fraction \frac{162}{9}.

$$\frac{58}{9}-\frac{162}{9}$$

Since \frac{58}{9} and \frac{162}{9} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{58-162}{9}$$

Subtract 162 from 58 to get -104.

$$-\frac{104}{9}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{104}{9} = -11\frac{5}{9} = -11.555555555555555$$
