simplify-5 1/4-(-7 1/2)

simplify

- 5 \frac{1}{4} - (- 7 \frac{1}{2})

2 \frac{1}{4}

Decimal Notation

2.25

Solution steps

- 5 \frac{1}{4} - (- 7 \frac{1}{2})

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

5 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{21}{4}

= - \frac{21}{4} - (- 7 \frac{1}{2})

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

7 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{15}{2}

= - \frac{21}{4} - (- \frac{15}{2})

Apply rule:

a - (- b) = a + b

- \frac{21}{4} - (- \frac{15}{2}) = - \frac{21}{4} + \frac{15}{2}

= - \frac{21}{4} + \frac{15}{2}

- \frac{21}{4} + \frac{15}{2} = \frac{9}{4}

= \frac{9}{4}

Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers:

\frac{9}{4} = 2 \frac{1}{4}

= 2 \frac{1}{4}

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

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

(2 x + 1) (4 x^{2} - 2 x + 1)

\frac{tan ( x )}{cot ( x )}
