Simplifying

7f + -3 + 2f = 9 + 6f

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 7f + 2f = 9 + 6f

Combine like terms: 7f + 2f = 9f

-3 + 9f = 9 + 6f

Solving

-3 + 9f = 9 + 6f

Solving for variable 'f'.

Move all terms containing f to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6f' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 9f + -6f = 9 + 6f + -6f

Combine like terms: 9f + -6f = 3f

-3 + 3f = 9 + 6f + -6f

Combine like terms: 6f + -6f = 0

-3 + 3f = 9 + 0

-3 + 3f = 9

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + 3f = 9 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + 3f = 9 + 3

3f = 9 + 3

Combine like terms: 9 + 3 = 12

3f = 12

Divide each side by '3'.

f = 4

Simplifying

f = 4
