Answer:

Explanation:

Formula

a = 9 / (f - 7)

Note

If you are going to try and isolate f, you must take the 7 with it, assuming that getting f to the left hand side will the your first step. It will be mine.

Solution

a = 9 / (f - 7) Multiply both sides by (f - 7) leave the brackets around (f - 7)

a(f - 7) = 9(f - 7)/(f - 7) Combine

a(f - 7) = 9 Remove the brackets

fa - 7a = 9 Add 63 to both sides

fa - 7a + 7a = 9 + 7a Combine

fa = 9 + 7a Divide by a

fa/a = (9 + 7a)/a Simplify

f = (9 + 7a)/a

Answer

f = (9 + 7a)/a
