Question

$$x+y/2-7$$

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

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply $x-7$ times $\frac{2}{2}$.

$$\frac{2\left(x-7\right)}{2}+\frac{y}{2}$$

Since $\frac{2\left(x-7\right)}{2}$ and $\frac{y}{2}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{2\left(x-7\right)+y}{2}$$

Do the multiplications in $2\left(x-7\right)+y$.

$$\frac{2x-14+y}{2}$$

$\frac{2x+y-14}{2}$
