3/8f+1/2=6(1/6f-3)

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3/8f+1/2=6(1/6f-3)

Reorder the terms in parentheses
/8f + 0.5=+(/6f-18)

Remove unnecessary parentheses
+/8f + 0.5=+/6f-18

We move all terms containing f to the left and all other terms to the right.
+8f-6f=-18-0.5

We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+2f=-18.5

We divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get f.
f=-9.25

Answer: f=29.6

Explanation:

3/8 f+ 1/2 = 6(1/6 f-3)

3f/8+4/8=6(f/6 - 18/6)

(3f+4)/8=f-18

3f+4=8f-144

3f+148=8f

5f=148

f=148/5

f=29.6
