No..

anonymous · Answer

oh

anonymous · Answer

Well if you dont have the NSWER cant help

arrangement · Answer

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I think if you solve the equation the answer is 0.

solomonzelman · Answer

Did you mean $$1/2(1x^2) + -1?$$

solomonzelman · Answer

@arrangement, you can't solve it b/c it is not in an' ...x...='    form, so my best guess is that they want to simplify.

solomonzelman · Answer

you can say that $$1/2(1x^2) + -1.-->1/2x^2+(-1).-->1/2x^2-1$$
would be your final answer.

solomonzelman · Answer

i am sure you cn name the rpoperties.

arrangement · Answer

Here's the exact equation. I just need to simplify it and tell which property I used for each step.

solomonzelman · Answer

I'll simplify and you tell me the properties, ready?

arrangement · Answer

Okay, I'm really bad with properties though...

solomonzelman · Answer

$$\frac{1}{2}(1 \times 2)+-1$$$$\frac{1}{2}(2)+-1$$  SO...$$2+-1-->2+(-1)--->1$$

solomonzelman · Answer
