Math Problem Statement

(-9/2)+(-5/2)

Solution

The expression (92)+(52)\left(-\frac{9}{2}\right) + \left(-\frac{5}{2}\right) can be simplified by combining the two fractions.

Since the denominators are the same, you can add the numerators directly:

92+52=9+(5)2=142=7\frac{-9}{2} + \frac{-5}{2} = \frac{-9 + (-5)}{2} = \frac{-14}{2} = -7

So, (92)+(52)=7\left(-\frac{9}{2}\right) + \left(-\frac{5}{2}\right) = -7.
