How can you get 2 x 5 - 1/2 x 10 x 9 to equal 45? If it can, can you tell me how and show me all the work? Thank you.

((2 x 5) - (1/2 x 10)) x 9 = 45
so do what is in the brackets first...
2 x 5 = 10
1/2 x 10 = 5
You now have 10 - 5 x 9 = 45
Which should make a bit more sense.

you are wrong the answer is 35.
2*5-1/2*10*9
=10-1/2*10*9
=10-5*9
=45-10
=35

It is not possible because multiply and division are before sum and minus!
if you do this 2*5=10
1/2*10*9=45
so it is impossible
