Solve -1/2(4)-3/4(-4)

$$- \frac { 1 } { 2 } ( 4 ) - \frac { 3 } { 4 } ( - 4 )$$

Evaluate

$$1$$

Solution Steps

Express -\frac{1}{2}\times 4 as a single fraction.

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

Divide -4 by 2 to get -2.

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

Express \frac{3}{4}\left(-4\right) as a single fraction.

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

Multiply 3 and -4 to get -12.

$$-2-\frac{-12}{4}$$

Divide -12 by 4 to get -3.

$$-2-\left(-3\right)$$

The opposite of -3 is 3.

$$-2+3$$

Add -2 and 3 to get 1.

$$1$$

Factor

$$1$$
