Solve {l}{(5^2+5div2)}{+5-5}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { ( 5 ^ { 2 } + 5 \div 2 ) } \\ { + 5 - 5 } \end{array} \right.$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{55}{2}=27.5$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25.

$$25+\frac{5}{2}+5-5$$

Convert 25 to fraction \frac{50}{2}.

$$\frac{50}{2}+\frac{5}{2}+5-5$$

Since \frac{50}{2} and \frac{5}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{50+5}{2}+5-5$$

Add 50 and 5 to get 55.

$$\frac{55}{2}+5-5$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{10}{2}.

$$\frac{55}{2}+\frac{10}{2}-5$$

Since \frac{55}{2} and \frac{10}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{55+10}{2}-5$$

Add 55 and 10 to get 65.

$$\frac{65}{2}-5$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{10}{2}.

$$\frac{65}{2}-\frac{10}{2}$$

Since \frac{65}{2} and \frac{10}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{65-10}{2}$$

Subtract 10 from 65 to get 55.

$$\frac{55}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 \cdot 11}{2} = 27\frac{1}{2} = 27.5$$
