Answer 2

Answer:

4(1/2 + 5/4) + -5 = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First step to this equation is to distribute into the parenthesis.

1/2(4) + 5/4(4) + -5

Then, multiply to get the products of the numbers needed to be multiplied.

2+5+(-5)

Now, add 2 and 5.

7+(-5)

Since the negative means subtract, you remove the addition sign(+) and replace it with the subtraction sign(-).

7-5= 2

This comes to the conclusion of 2.
