\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{28 - f =30.5}


\large\textsf{Or you can say: \textsf{-f + 28 = 30.5}}


\rm{SUBTRACT\ 28\ to\ BOTH\ SIDES}


\mathsf{-f + 28 - 28 = 30.5 - 28}


\rm{CANCEL\ out: 28 - 28\ because\ that\ gives\ you\ 0}


\rm{KEEP: 30.5 - 28\ because\ that\ helps\ solve\ for\ your\ f-value}


\mathsf{30.5-28=\bf 2.5}


\rm{New\ EQUATION: -f = 2.5}


\textsf{When we have a variable by itself, it is usually understood as an invisible 1 }


\rm{DIVIDE\ -1\ to\ BOTH\ SIDES}


\mathsf{(-f)/(-1)=(2.5)/(-1)}


\rm{CANCEL\ out: (-1)/(-1)\ because\ that\ gives\ you\ 1}


\rm{KEEP: (2.5)/(-1)\ because\ it\ gives\ you\ the\ f-value\ result}


\mathsf{f =(2.5)/(-1)}\\\\\large\text{or you can say}\downarrow\\\\\mathsf{2.5/ -1=\bf f}


\uparrow\textsf{SIMPLIFY ABOVE AND YOU WILL HAVE YOUR RESULT OF \bf F}\uparrow


\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Amswer: \huge \bf f = -2.5}}}\huge\checkmark
