Solve a-((b-a)/-2)

Evaluate

a - (\frac{b - a}{- 2})

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

a - (- \frac{b - a}{2})

If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses

a + \frac{b - a}{2}

Reduce fractions to a common denominator

\frac{a \times 2}{2} + \frac{b - a}{2}

Write all numerators above the common denominator

\frac{a \times 2 + b - a}{2}

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

\frac{2 a + b - a}{2}
