Question

How do you do this
2(f-3)+5=3(f-1)
Plz show work
Thx!

Answer 1

f=2 is the correct answer

Answer 2

So first, we need to distribute:

$2(f-3)+5=3(f-1)$
$2f-6+5=3f-3$

Then we simplify like terms that are on the same side of the equal sign:

$2f-1=3f-3$

Then we need to get the variable on one side. Let's subtract 2f from both sides:

$-1=f-3$

Then solve for f by adding 3 to both sides:

$f=2$

So now we know that f = 2.
