Question

What expression has the same value as -3/2-(2-3/8)+3/2

Answer 1

`(-3)/(2)-(2-(3)/(8))+(3)/(2)=(-13)/(8)`

Explanation:

We need to find the value of expression
`(-3)/(2)-(2-(3)/(8))+(3)/(2)`.

Firstly solving the second term as :

`(2-(3)/(8))=(16-3)/(8)=(13)/(8)`

Now the above expression becomes,

`(-3)/(2)-(2-(3)/(8))+(3)/(2)\\=(-3)/(2)-(13)/(8)+(3)/(2)`

-3/2 and +3/2 equals 0.

It means that,
`(-3)/(2)-(2-(3)/(8))+(3)/(2)=(-13)/(8)`
