expand (-1+(-1/3))/2

expand

\frac{- 1 + ( - \frac{1}{3} )}{2}

- \frac{2}{3}

Decimal Notation

- 0.66666 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{- 1 + ( - \frac{1}{3} )}{2}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= \frac{- 1 - \frac{1}{3}}{2}

Join

- 1 - \frac{1}{3} : - \frac{4}{3}

= \frac{- \frac{4}{3}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{\frac{4}{3}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{2} = \frac{4}{3 \cdot 2}

= - \frac{4}{3 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 2 = 6

= - \frac{4}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{2}{3}

- \frac{3 ( 5 - 1 )}{4}

\frac{x ^{2} - 36 x}{( x + 6 ) ( x ^{2} - 7 x + 6 )}

\frac{x ^{2} + 2 x + 3}{( x - 1 ) ( x + 1 ) ^{2}}

\frac{4 - 2 x}{( 3 x + 2 ) ( 1 - x )}

\frac{\partial}{\partial q} (1) - p (1 + q)
