You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(10 - \left(3.5 + \frac{1}{2}\right)\)

MathBot Answer:

\[10 - \left(3.5 + \frac{1}{2}\right) = 6\]


\[\begin{aligned}10 - \left(3.5 + \frac{1}{2}\right)& = 10 - \left(3 + \frac{5}{10} + \frac{1}{2}\right)\\& = 10 - \left(3 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\right)\\& = 10 - \left(\frac{7}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\right)\\& = 10 - 4\\& = 6\end{aligned}\]
