You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{-5 \cdot \left(-6 + 5\right) - 7}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{-5 \cdot \left(-6 + 5\right) - 7}{4} = - \frac{1}{2} = -0.5\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{-5 \cdot \left(-6 + 5\right) - 7}{4}& = \left(-5 \cdot \left(-6 + 5\right) - 7\right) \cdot \frac{1}{4}\\& = \left(-5 \cdot -1 - 7\right) \cdot \frac{1}{4}\\& = \left(5 - 7\right) \cdot \frac{1}{4}\\& = \frac{-2}{4}\\& = - \frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}\]
