Step 2.1

Factor $2$ out of $4 x$ .

$\frac{1}{2} (2 (2 x)) + \frac{1}{2} \cdot - 5$

Step 2.2

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{2} (2 (2 x)) + \frac{1}{2} \cdot - 5$

Step 2.3

Rewrite the expression.

$2 x + \frac{1}{2} \cdot - 5$

$2 x + \frac{1}{2} \cdot - 5$

Step 3

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $- 5$ .

$2 x + \frac{- 5}{2}$

Step 4

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$2 x - \frac{5}{2}$

$[\begin{array}{c} x^{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\ \sqrt{π} & \int x d x \end{array}]$
