Solve -4-3-1/4-3/6

$$- 4 - \frac { 3 - 1 } { 4 } - \frac { 3 } { 6 }$$

Evaluate

$$-5$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 1 from 3 to get 2.

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

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$-4-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{6}$$

Convert -4 to fraction -\frac{8}{2}.

$$-\frac{8}{2}-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{6}$$

Since -\frac{8}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-8-1}{2}-\frac{3}{6}$$

Subtract 1 from -8 to get -9.

$$-\frac{9}{2}-\frac{3}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$-\frac{9}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Since -\frac{9}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-9-1}{2}$$

Subtract 1 from -9 to get -10.

$$\frac{-10}{2}$$

Divide -10 by 2 to get -5.

$$-5$$

Factor
