Solve -67/2+(-11+40

$$- \frac{ 67 }{ 2 } +(-11+40$$

Evaluate

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

Solution Steps

Convert 11 to fraction \frac{22}{2}.

$$-\frac{67}{2}-\frac{22}{2}+40$$

Since -\frac{67}{2} and \frac{22}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-67-22}{2}+40$$

Subtract 22 from -67 to get -89.

$$-\frac{89}{2}+40$$

Convert 40 to fraction \frac{80}{2}.

$$-\frac{89}{2}+\frac{80}{2}$$

Since -\frac{89}{2} and \frac{80}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-89+80}{2}$$

Add -89 and 80 to get -9.

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

Factor

$$-\frac{9}{2} = -4\frac{1}{2} = -4.5$$
