$\frac{14}{2}$ -5
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{14}{2} - 5\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{14}{2} - 5 = 2 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{14}{2}\) and \(\frac{-5}{1}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{14}{2} - 5 &= \frac{14 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} + \frac{-5 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{14 + -10}{2} \\ &= \frac{4}{2} \\&= 2 \end{aligned} \]
