Solve (-(3/2+8/4)-6)

$$(-( \frac{ 3 }{ 2 } + \frac{ 8 }{ 4 } )-6)$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{19}{2}=-9.5$$

Solution Steps

Divide 8 by 4 to get 2.

$$-\left(\frac{3}{2}+2\right)-6$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{4}{2}.

$$-\left(\frac{3}{2}+\frac{4}{2}\right)-6$$

Since \frac{3}{2} and \frac{4}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$-\frac{3+4}{2}-6$$

Add 3 and 4 to get 7.

$$-\frac{7}{2}-6$$

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{12}{2}.

$$-\frac{7}{2}-\frac{12}{2}$$

Since -\frac{7}{2} and \frac{12}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-7-12}{2}$$

Subtract 12 from -7 to get -19.

$$-\frac{19}{2}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{19}{2} = -9\frac{1}{2} = -9.5$$
