= \frac{2}{2}

= (- \frac{1}{2}) \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Simplify

(- \frac{1}{2}) \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2} : \frac{2 ( - 1 - 3 )}{4}

(- \frac{1}{2}) \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Factor out common term

\frac{2}{2}

= \frac{2}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2})

- \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{- 1 - 3}{2}

- \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{- 1 - 3}{2}

= \frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{- 1 - 3}{2}

Multiply fractions:

\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}

= \frac{( - 1 - 3 ) 2}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2 ( - 1 - 3 )}{4}

= \frac{2 ( - 1 - 3 )}{4}
