x=11.4242....
100x=1142.4242....
100x-x = 99x = 1131
x=1131/99 = 11 42/99 (unreduced) = 11 14/33 (reduced fraction)
I think 8. Plug in -4 for x. 1/2-4^2
Using pemdas -4^2 is 16 and 1/2•16 is 8. If there were parenthesis around 1/2x then 1/2•-4 would be -2 and -2^2 is 4 but since there aren’t parentheses then 8
