Solve 4-7/2-14-25

$$4- \frac{ 7 }{ 2 } -14-25$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{77}{2}=-38.5$$

Solution Steps

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

$$\frac{8}{2}-\frac{7}{2}-14-25$$

Since \frac{8}{2} and \frac{7}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{8-7}{2}-14-25$$

Subtract 7 from 8 to get 1.

$$\frac{1}{2}-14-25$$

Convert 14 to fraction \frac{28}{2}.

$$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{28}{2}-25$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{28}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{1-28}{2}-25$$

Subtract 28 from 1 to get -27.

$$-\frac{27}{2}-25$$

Convert 25 to fraction \frac{50}{2}.

$$-\frac{27}{2}-\frac{50}{2}$$

Since -\frac{27}{2} and \frac{50}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-27-50}{2}$$

Subtract 50 from -27 to get -77.

$$-\frac{77}{2}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{77}{2} = -38\frac{1}{2} = -38.5$$
