Answer 1

Answer:

$\tt{●QUESTION:-}$

Sum of the additive inverse of - 1/2 and the additive inverse of 3/4 is equal to = ?

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

$\tt{ ●\: TO \: FIND:-}$

$\mathtt\blue{ADDITIVE \: INVERSE \: OF \: \frac{ - 1}{2} }$

$\mathtt\blue{ADDITIVE \: INVERSE \: OF \: \frac{ 3}{4} }$

$\tt\blue{ADDITION \: OF \: BOTH \: ADDITIVE \: INVERSE}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

$\mathtt{●SOLUTION:-}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

$\mathtt\blue{ADDITIVE \: INVERSE \: OF \: \frac{ - 1}{2} \: IS \: } \: \tt{ \frac{1}{2} }$

$\mathtt\blue{ADDITIVE \: INVERSE \: OF \: \frac{ 3}{4} \: IS \: } \: \tt{ \frac{ - 3}{4} }$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

$\mathtt{NOW \: ADD \: BOTH \: ADDITIVE \: INVERSE \: TOGETHER}$

$\implies\tt \blue{\frac{1}{2} +} \tt{ ( \frac{ - 3}{4} )}$

$\implies\tt \blue{\frac{1}{2} - } \tt{ \frac{ 3}{4} }$

$\mathtt{LCM \: OF \: 2 \: AND \: 4 \: IS \: 4}$

$\implies\tt \blue{\frac{1 \times 2}{2 \times 2} - } \tt{ \frac{ 3}{4} }$

$\implies\tt \blue{\frac{2 - 3}{4} }$

$\implies\tt \blue{\frac{ - 1}{4} }$

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2 + -3/4

make the denominator same so

2/4 + -3/4 = -1/4
