Subtract. \( -\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2} \)

When you subtract \(-\frac{1}{2}\) and \(-\frac{1}{2}\), you can think of this as adding the two values together since they're both negative. So, \( -\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = -1 \). It’s like owing someone two halves—it totals up to a whole! In a more visual way, if you imagine a number line, starting at zero and moving two steps to the left lands you at -1. It’s essential to remember that subtracting a positive number results in moving further left on the number line!
