Solve 2+5/2-5

$$2 + 5 / 2 - 5$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{1}{2}=-0.5$$

Solution Steps

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

$$\frac{4}{2}+\frac{5}{2}-5$$

Since \frac{4}{2} and \frac{5}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{4+5}{2}-5$$

Add 4 and 5 to get 9.

$$\frac{9}{2}-5$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{10}{2}.

$$\frac{9}{2}-\frac{10}{2}$$

Since \frac{9}{2} and \frac{10}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{9-10}{2}$$

Subtract 10 from 9 to get -1.

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

Factor

$$-\frac{1}{2} = -0.5$$
