Solve 1/2lceil15+14+14-14-35-6rceil

$$\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \lceil 15+14+14-14-35-6 \rceil$$

Evaluate

$$-6$$

Solution Steps

Add 15 and 14 to get 29.

$$\frac{1}{2}\lceil 29+14-14-35-6\rceil$$

Add 29 and 14 to get 43.

$$\frac{1}{2}\lceil 43-14-35-6\rceil$$

Subtract 14 from 43 to get 29.

$$\frac{1}{2}\lceil 29-35-6\rceil$$

Subtract 35 from 29 to get -6.

$$\frac{1}{2}\lceil -6-6\rceil$$

Subtract 6 from -6 to get -12.

$$\frac{1}{2}\lceil -12\rceil$$

The ceiling of a real number a is the smallest integer number greater than or equal to a. The ceiling of -12 is -12.

$$\frac{1}{2}\left(-12\right)$$

Multiply \frac{1}{2} and -12 to get \frac{-12}{2}.

$$\frac{-12}{2}$$

Divide -12 by 2 to get -6.

$$-6$$

Factor
