Thx senorita sue
You're welcome, Lilith.
To compute the expression -1/2 - (-5/10), we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Simplify the expression by finding a common denominator for the fractions involved. In this case, the common denominator is 2, since it is the smallest number divisible by both 2 and 10.
-1/2 - (-5/10) = -1/2 + 5/10
Step 2: Rewrite both fractions with the common denominator of 2:
-1/2 + 5/10 = -1/2 + 1/2
Step 3: Combine the numerators:
-1/2 + 1/2 = 0/2
Step 4: Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, 0/2 equals zero:
0/2 = 0
So, -1/2 - (-5/10) is equal to 0.
