Solve 10-xy/2

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

Evaluate

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

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 10 times \frac{2}{2}.

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

Since \frac{10\times 2}{2} and \frac{xy}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Do the multiplications in 10\times 2-xy.

$$\frac{20-xy}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{20-xy}{2}$$

Solution Steps

Factor out \frac{1}{2}.

$$\frac{20-xy}{2}$$
