Solve the following equation
6f+5=8f-7
Solve for f
6f + 5 = 8f - 7
Group variables
Group our variables 6f and 8f
subtract 8f from both sides
6f + 5 - 8f = 8f - 7 - 8f
Cancel 8f on the right side:
-2f + 5 = -7
Divide each side by 6
| 6f | |
| 6 |
| = |
| 5 |
| 6 |
Group constants
Group our constants 5 and -7.
subtract 5 from both sides
-2f + 5 - 5 = -7 - 5
Cancel 5 on the left side:
-2f = -12
Divide each side of the equation by -2
| -2f | |
| -2 |
| = |
| -12 |
| -2 |
f = 6
Final Answer
f = 6
