See the entire solution process below:

Because #0 * m = 0# or #n * 0 = 0# we solve each term in the equation for #0# to determine the solution:

Solution 1)

#f - 2 = 0#

#f - 2 + color(red)(2) = 0 + color(red)(2)#

#f - 0 = 2#

#f = 2#

Solution 2)

#f + 3 = 0#

#f + 3 - color(red)(3) = 0 - color(red)(3)#

#f + 0 = -3#

#f = -3#

The solution is: #f = 2# and #f = -3#
