Question

What expression has the same value as -3/2-(2-3/8)+3/2

Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{-3}{2}-(2-\dfrac{3}{8})+\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{-13}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of expression $\dfrac{-3}{2}-(2-\dfrac{3}{8})+\dfrac{3}{2}$.

Firstly solving the second term as :

$(2-\dfrac{3}{8})=\dfrac{16-3}{8}=\dfrac{13}{8}$

Now the above expression becomes,

$\dfrac{-3}{2}-(2-\dfrac{3}{8})+\dfrac{3}{2}\\=\dfrac{-3}{2}-\dfrac{13}{8}+\dfrac{3}{2}$

-3/2 and +3/2 equals 0.

It means that, $\dfrac{-3}{2}-(2-\dfrac{3}{8})+\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{-13}{8}$
