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.
The absolute value of any negative number is equal to its positive equivalent, that is, the number without its negative sign. In this instance, abs(-54) is equal to 54.
Yes, almost half of them have additive inverses which are negative.

any number below negative 1
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'.
Any number divided by2=half
That will be the case with any negative number.
No, any 2 negative numbers multiplied together equal a positive number
The absolute value of any negative number is equal to its positive equivalent, that is, the number without its negative sign. In this instance, abs(-54) is equal to 54.
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.
Yes, almost half of them have additive inverses which are negative.
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.
Negative 4 is equal to any number that is 4 units to the left of zero on the number line. This includes -4, -4.0, -4/1, -8/2, -12/3, and so on. In general, any number of the form -4 + n, where n is any integer, will be equal to negative 4.
5
non-negative would be any number that is greater than or equal to zero.
A negative number or any number that is greater than or equal to 7.
any number below negative 1
