Solve -11/2+-1/-2--3/5

$$- 1 \frac { 1 } { 2 } + \frac { - 1 } { - 2 } - \frac { - 3 } { 5 }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{2}{5}=-0.4$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

$$-\frac{2+1}{2}+\frac{-1}{-2}-\frac{-3}{5}$$

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$-\frac{3}{2}+\frac{-1}{-2}-\frac{-3}{5}$$

Fraction \frac{-1}{-2} can be simplified to \frac{1}{2} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$-\frac{3}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{-3}{5}$$

Since -\frac{3}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-3+1}{2}-\frac{-3}{5}$$

Add -3 and 1 to get -2.

$$\frac{-2}{2}-\frac{-3}{5}$$

Divide -2 by 2 to get -1.

$$-1-\frac{-3}{5}$$

Fraction \frac{-3}{5} can be rewritten as -\frac{3}{5} by extracting the negative sign.

$$-1-\left(-\frac{3}{5}\right)$$

The opposite of -\frac{3}{5} is \frac{3}{5}.

$$-1+\frac{3}{5}$$

Convert -1 to fraction -\frac{5}{5}.

$$-\frac{5}{5}+\frac{3}{5}$$

Since -\frac{5}{5} and \frac{3}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-5+3}{5}$$

Add -5 and 3 to get -2.

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

Factor

$$-\frac{2}{5} = -0.4$$
