Answer:

Explanation:

We have our question.

f + 2.5= 3f + 7.24

Then you combine like terms that taking the coefficients apart.

That is,

NOTE: WHEN TAKING A NUMBER ACROSS AND EQUAL SIGN THE SIGN CHANGES, E.G - TO + .

f - 3f = 7.24 - 2.5

-2f = 4.74

Divide both sides by coefficient of f which is -2

-2f = 4.74

-2 -2

f = 8.49
