- \frac{1}{2}

Solution steps

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

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations

Calculate within parentheses

(2 - 3) : - 1

2 - 3

2 - 3 = - 1

= - 1

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

Multiply and divide (left to right)

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

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

Apply rule

(a) \cdot (- b) = - a \cdot b

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

= - \frac{1}{2}

= - \frac{1}{2}

1 5^{2} + 3 7^{2}

6 + 2 \times 3 - (9 - 4)

+ (- 30) + (15) + (- 17) + (- 12) + (17)

2 + 3 \times 8 - 18 \div 6 - 7

(- 1) \cdot (- 2) \cdot (- 3) \cdot (- 4)
