Step 1.1

Add $- \frac{1}{2}$ to both sides of the equation.

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

Step 1.2

Subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 0$

Step 2

Simplify $\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$ .

Step 2.1

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{1 - 1 - 1 - 1}{2} = 0$

Step 2.2

Subtract $1$ from $1$ .

$\frac{0 - 1 - 1}{2} = 0$

Step 2.3

Subtract $1$ from $0$ .

$\frac{- 1 - 1}{2} = 0$

Step 2.4

Subtract $1$ from $- 1$ .

$\frac{- 2}{2} = 0$

Step 2.5

Divide $- 2$ by $2$ .

$- 1 = 0$

Step 3

Since $- 1 \neq 0$ , there are no solutions.
