Question

$$\frac{3}{2}-\frac{5}{2}=$$

Evaluate

$-1$

Solution Steps

Since $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{5}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{3-5}{2}$$

Subtract $5$ from $3$ to get $-2$.

$$\frac{-2}{2}$$

Divide $-2$ by $2$ to get $-1$.

$$-1$$

Factor

$-1$
