Math Problem Statement

4+1/2−(3−2)+3

Solution

Let's simplify the expression step by step:

Given expression:

4+12(32)+34 + \frac{1}{2} - (3 - 2) + 3

Step 1: Simplify inside the parentheses

32=13 - 2 = 1

Substitute this back: 4+121+34 + \frac{1}{2} - 1 + 3

Step 2: Combine terms sequentially

  1. Start with 4+124 + \frac{1}{2}: 4+12=4.54 + \frac{1}{2} = 4.5
  2. Subtract 11: 4.51=3.54.5 - 1 = 3.5
  3. Add 33: 3.5+3=6.53.5 + 3 = 6.5

Final Answer:

6.56.5
