Question

How do you solve `144=12f`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Divide each side of the equation by `color(red)(12)` to solve for `f` while keeping the equation balanced:

`144/color(red)(12) = (12f)/color(red)(12)`

`12 = (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(12)))f)/cancel(color(red)(12))`

`12 = f`

`f = 12`
