Find the Average [-4,0]

$[- 4, 0]$

Step 1

The mean of a set of numbers is the sum divided by the number of terms.

$\frac{- 4 + 0}{2}$

Step 2

Cancel the common factor of $- 4 + 0$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $- 4$ .

$\frac{2 \cdot - 2 + 0}{2}$

Factor $2$ out of $0$ .

$\frac{2 \cdot - 2 + 2 \cdot 0}{2}$

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot - 2 + 2 \cdot 0$ .

$\frac{2 \cdot (- 2 + 0)}{2}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$\frac{2 \cdot (- 2 + 0)}{2 (1)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 \cdot (- 2 + 0)}{2 \cdot 1}$

Rewrite the expression.

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

Divide $- 2 + 0$ by $1$ .

$- 2 + 0$

Step 3

Add $- 2$ and $0$ .

$- 2$
