Answer:

11 and one-fourth

Explanation:

The given expression can be rewritten as:

(8+(1)/(2)) -2+(4+(3)/(4))

1/2 can be written as 2/4.

Solving the expression grouping integers and fractions:

$(8+(2)/(4)) -2+(4+(3)/(4)) =\\8+4-2+((2)/(4)+(3)/(4)) =\\10+(5)/(4)=\\ 11+(1)/(4)$

Therefore, the value of the given expression is 11 and one-fourth.
