Algebraically, what you're asking is if there is a value for x such that x-1 = (1/2)x. Well, let's solve for x and see.
First, multiply both sides by x:
x*x-1 = (1/2)x*x, 1 = (1/2)x2.
Then, multiply both sides by 2:
2*1 = 2*(1/2)x2, 2 = x2.
Finally,take the square root of both sides:
√(2) = √(x2), which leaves us with two numbers that satisfy your question,
x = ±√2.

Is it possible for a to be a negative number in the equation a squared equal b explain why or why not?
Of course it is. 'a' can be any positive or negative number, and 'b' is its square.That's no problem.What is difficult is for 'b' to be a negative number in the same equation.No real number for 'a' can produce a negative 'b'.
What is half equal to?
Any number divided by2=half
What is the number that its half is bigger than the number it self?
That will be the case with any negative number.
Can the square of an integer be a negative number explain?
No, any 2 negative numbers multiplied together equal a positive number

Does negative 3 squared equal negative nine?
No. Negative three squared is POSITIVE nine. The square of ANY number is positive, because if you multiply a negative number by a negative number, the result is positive.
Can the additive inverse of any rational number negative?
Yes, almost half of them have additive inverses which are negative.
Does a positive number minus a negative number equal a positve number?
Well, a positive number minus a greater positive number equals a negative number. But it's impossible for a negative number to be subtracted from any number.
Is 2 less than or equal to -3?
