Solve (5.3+(-3.6)/2+-3.4+4.8/2)

$$( \frac{ 5.3+(-3.6) }{ 2 } + \frac{ -3.4+4.8 }{ 2 } )$$

Evaluate

$$1.55$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 3.6 from 5.3 to get 1.7.

$$\frac{1.7}{2}+\frac{-3.4+4.8}{2}$$

Expand \frac{1.7}{2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$\frac{17}{20}+\frac{-3.4+4.8}{2}$$

Add -3.4 and 4.8 to get 1.4.

$$\frac{17}{20}+\frac{1.4}{2}$$

Expand \frac{1.4}{2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$\frac{17}{20}+\frac{14}{20}$$

Since \frac{17}{20} and \frac{14}{20} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{17+14}{20}$$

Add 17 and 14 to get 31.

$$\frac{31}{20}$$

Factor

$$\frac{31}{5 \cdot 2 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{11}{20} = 1.55$$
