Solve x=1/2-2-1

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

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{5}{2} = -2\frac{1}{2} = -2.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

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

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{4}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 4 from 1 to get -3.

$$x=-\frac{3}{2}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

$$x=-\frac{3}{2}-\frac{2}{2}$$

Since -\frac{3}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{-3-2}{2}$$

Subtract 2 from -3 to get -5.

$$x=-\frac{5}{2}$$

Assign x

$$x≔-\frac{5}{2}$$
