Explanation:


= (1)/(2) + ( - 5 (9)/(10) )


= (1)/(2) - 5 (9)/(10) \\


= (1)/(2) - (5 * 10 + 9)/(10) \\


= (1)/(2) - (59)/(10) \\


= (1)/(2) * (5)/(5) - (59)/(10) \\


= (5)/(10) - (59)/(10) \\


= (5 - 59)/(10) \\


= - (54)/(10) \\


= - (27)/(5) \\

Answer:


-5 (2)/(5)

Explanation:


(1)/(2) +\left( -5(9)/(10) \right)


= (1)/(2) -\left( 5(9)/(10) \right) \ \ \ \text{(recall\ :\ + - = - )}


= (1)/(2) -\left( 5+(9)/(10) \right)


= (1)/(2) -5 - (9)/(10) \right)


= (5)/(10) -5 - (9)/(10) \right)


= -5 + (5)/(10) - (9)/(10) \right)


= -5 - (4)/(10)


= -5 - (2)/(5)


= -5 (2)/(5)
