Solve (-5)div((+2)-(-8))+(+5)=

$$( - 5 ) \div ( ( + 2 ) - ( - 8 ) ) + ( + 5 ) =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{9}{2}=4.5$$

Solution Steps

The opposite of -8 is 8.

$$\frac{-5}{2+8}+5$$

Add 2 and 8 to get 10.

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

Reduce the fraction \frac{-5}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$-\frac{1}{2}+5$$

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

$$-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{10}{2}$$

Since -\frac{1}{2} and \frac{10}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-1+10}{2}$$

Add -1 and 10 to get 9.

$$\frac{9}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 ^ {2}}{2} = 4\frac{1}{2} = 4.5$$
