How do you solve #5( 6+ 3f ) = - 2( 3- 3f )#? Algebra Linear Equations Equations with Variables on Both Sides 1 Answer Hemil P. · Stefan V. May 22, 2017 #f= - 4# Explanation: Multiply #5# to #(6+3f)#. It will give #30 + 15f# On the other side, multiply #-2# to #(3-3f)#. It will give #-6 + 6f# So, #30 +15f = -6 + 6f# Bring the #f# terms on one side #15f - 6f = -6 + -30# #9f = -36# Now divide each side by #9# #f= -36/9# #f= - 4# Answer link Related questions How do you check solutions to equations with variables on both sides?
