Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluate the parenthesis before multiplication
4² = 4 × 4 = 16 and
( [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Thus 16 + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = 16 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{65}{4}[/tex]
Hence
- 2 × [tex]\frac{65}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-2(65)}{4}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{65}{2}[/tex] = - 32 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
