simplify 1/2 (x-1)

Solution

simplify

\frac{1}{2} (x - 1)

Solution

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

Solution steps

\frac{1}{2} (x - 1)

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

\frac{1}{2} (x - 1) = \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 1

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

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 1 : \frac{x}{2} - \frac{1}{2}

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