$$\frac { p } { 2 } + \frac { q } { 2 } - p q$$

$\frac{q+p-2pq}{2}$

Since $\frac{p}{2}$ and $\frac{q}{2}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{p+q}{2}-pq$$

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply $pq$ times $\frac{2}{2}$.

$$\frac{p+q}{2}-\frac{2pq}{2}$$

Since $\frac{p+q}{2}$ and $\frac{2pq}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{p+q-2pq}{2}$$

$\frac{q+p-2pq}{2}$
