Solve -2+3/2-1

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

Evaluate

$$-\frac{3}{2}=-1.5$$

Solution Steps

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

$$-\frac{4}{2}+\frac{3}{2}-1$$

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

$$\frac{-4+3}{2}-1$$

Add -4 and 3 to get -1.

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

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

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

Since -\frac{1}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 2 from -1 to get -3.

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

Factor

$$-\frac{3}{2} = -1\frac{1}{2} = -1.5$$
