given


20 * (1)/(2) + \: - 50 * (3)/(4)

negative × positive = negative

therefore the equation is written as


20 * (1)/(2) - 50 * (3)/(4)

20÷2 =10

50÷4 = 25/2

now the general equation is


10 - (25 * 3)/(4)


= 10 - (75)/(4)

now we find the L.C.M by multiplying the denominators which is 4×1 = 4 as the L. C. M,

now multiply through by the L . C .M which is 4


= 4 * 10 - 4 * (75)/(4)


= 40 - 75


= - 35

as our final answer.
