Answer 1

`(1)/(2)a+(1)/(2)b\\` or
`a=-b`

Explanation:

Given expression:

`(1)/(2)(a+b)`

the above expression can be written in the form of :

`(1)/(2)a+(1)/(2)b\\`

or

equating the equation to zero

`(1)/(2)(a+b)=0\\\\(1)/(2)a=-(1)/(2)b\\or \\a=-b`

The given equation can be expressed in the terms shown above by simplification.
