Question

How do you solve `4f - 5+ 6= 35`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, combine like terms on the left side of the equation:

`4f - color(red)(5) + color(red)(6) = 35`

`4f + 1 = 35`

Next, subtract `color(red)(1)` from each side of the equation to isolate the `f` term while keeping the equation balanced:

`4f + 1 - color(red)(1) = 35 - color(red)(1)`

`4f + 0 = 34`

`4f = 34`

Now, divide each side of the equation by `color(red)(4)` to solve for `f` while keeping the equation balanced:

`(4f)/color(red)(4) = 34/color(red)(4)`

`(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4)))f)/cancel(color(red)(4)) = (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(34)))17)/color(red)(color(black)(cancel(color(red)(4)))2)`

`f = 17/2`
