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.
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, any 2 negative numbers multiplied together equal a positive number
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.

non-negative would be any number that is greater than or equal to zero.
Yes, for any value of the two numbers.
A negative number or any number that is greater than or equal to 7.
any number below negative 1
