Solve A=-1/2-2*frac{1}2^2

$$A = - \frac { 1 } { 2 } - 2 \cdot \frac { 1 } { 2 } ^ { 2 }$$

Solve for A

$$A=-1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Calculate \frac{1}{2} to the power of 2 and get \frac{1}{4}.

$$A=-\frac{1}{2}-2\times \frac{1}{4}$$

Multiply 2 and \frac{1}{4} to get \frac{2}{4}.

$$A=-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{4}$$

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

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

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

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

Subtract 1 from -1 to get -2.

$$A=\frac{-2}{2}$$

Divide -2 by 2 to get -1.

$$A=-1$$

Assign A

$$A≔-1$$
