Question

Please i need this answer fast

Answer 1

Multiply 3 on both sides.

Explanation:

Subtract 22 on both sides so that the positive 22 can be canceled out and that the variable and one other number is left.

`(f)/(3) + 22 = 17`

`-22`
`-22`

You should then get this equation:

`(f)/(3) = -5`

Since there is division involved in
`(f)/(3)`, multiply both sides by three (Hint: Opposite of division is multiplication!) so that 3 would cancel out and that only the variable f is left.

`3` ×
`(f)/(3) = -5` ×
`3`

You should get this equation now:

`f = -5` ×
`3`

Solving it will let you have:

`f = -15`

To check if your answer is right, replace the variable f with -15 in
`(f)/(3) + 22 = 17` and solve.
