You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(4 + 6 - \frac{10}{2}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 4 + 6 - \frac{10}{2} = 5 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{4}{1}\), \(\frac{6}{1}\), and \(\frac{-10}{2}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} 4 + 6 - \frac{10}{2} &= \frac{4 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{6 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{-10 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{8 + 12 + -10}{2} \\ &= \frac{10}{2} \\&= 5 \end{aligned} \]
