Answer:

No solution

Explanation:

Distribute the right side of the equation.

This will make it 3/8f+1/2=3/8f - 18

And, since 3/8f plus 1/2 will never equal the same thing as 3/8f minus 18, there are no solutions

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 6 to the
(1)/(16) f and -3.


(3)/(8) f + (1)/(2) = (6)/(16) f - 18\\\\(3)/(8) f + (1)/(2) = (3)/(8) f - 18

If you were to subtract
(3)/(8) f from both sides of the equation, you would be left with
(1)/(2) = -18, which isn't correct.

This means that there are NO solutions to this equation, or no value of f that will make both sides of the equation equal to each other.
