Sure, let's break down the problem step by step to understand how we arrive at the answer.
### Step 1: Simplify Each Fraction
First, let's simplify each fraction individually:
1. For the fraction [tex]\(\frac{4}{2}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{4}{2} = 2
\][/tex]
2. For the fraction [tex]\(\frac{-1}{2}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{-1}{2} = -0.5
\][/tex]
### Step 2: Add the Simplified Fractions Together
Next, we need to add the results of the two simplified fractions together:
[tex]\[
2 + (-0.5)
\][/tex]
### Step 3: Perform the Addition
Let's perform the addition:
[tex]\[
2 + (-0.5) = 1.5
\][/tex]
### Conclusion
After following all the steps, we arrive at the final answer:
[tex]\[
\frac{4}{2} + \frac{-1}{2} = 1.5
\][/tex]
Thus, the result of the given expression is [tex]\(1.5\)[/tex].
