Question

$$(-1)+(-7) \div (-2)$$

Evaluate

$\frac{5}{2}=2.5$

Solution Steps

Fraction $\frac{-7}{-2}$ can be simplified to $\frac{7}{2}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$-1+\frac{7}{2}$$

Convert $-1$ to fraction $-\frac{2}{2}$.

$$-\frac{2}{2}+\frac{7}{2}$$

Since $-\frac{2}{2}$ and $\frac{7}{2}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-2+7}{2}$$

Add $-2$ and $7$ to get $5$.

$$\frac{5}{2}$$

Factor

$\frac{5}{2} = 2\frac{1}{2} = 2.5$
