-3/2-1

Solution

- 3/2 - 1

- \frac{5}{2}

Solution steps

- 3/2 - 1

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations

Multiply and divide (left to right)

- 3/2 : \frac{- 3}{2}

- 3/2

- 3/2 = \frac{- 3}{2}

= \frac{- 3}{2}

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

Add and subtract (left to right)

\frac{- 3}{2} - 1 : - \frac{5}{2}

\frac{- 3}{2} - 1

\frac{- 3}{2} - 1 = - \frac{5}{2}

\frac{- 3}{2} - 1

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

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

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

= - \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2} - \frac{3}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{- 1 \cdot 2 - 3}{2}

- 1 \cdot 2 - 3 = - 5

- 1 \cdot 2 - 3

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= - 2 - 3

Subtract the numbers:

- 2 - 3 = - 5

= - 5

= \frac{- 5}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{5}{2}

= - \frac{5}{2}

= - \frac{5}{2}
