0.3f +1 = 0.2f - 4.5
What’s the answer step by step

Explanation:

.3f+1 = .2f-4.5

1. Subtract .2f both sides

.1f+1 = -4.5

2. Subtract 1 from both sides

.1f = -5.5

3. Divide .1 both sides

f = -55

To check plug in -55 to all the f’s and both sides should be equal.

Hope this helps!

Hey!

-----------------------------------------------

Steps To Solve:

0.3f + 1 = 0.2f - 4.5

~Subtract 0.2f to both sides

0.3f + 1 - 0.2f = 0.2f - 4.5 - 0.2f

~Simplify

0.1f + 1 = -4.5

~Subtract 1 to both sides

0.1f + 1 - 1 = -4.5 - 1

~Simplify

0.1f = -5.5

~Divide 0.1 to both sides

0.1f/0.1 = -5.5/0.1

~Simplify

f = -55

-----------------------------------------------

Answer:


\boxed{ \bf f~=~-55}

-----------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
