Question

Simplify this equation: 10f + 3 = 23 + 6f

Answer 1

f = 5

Explanation:

10f + 3 = 23 + 6f

Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign

10f + 3 - 6f = 23

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

10f - 6f = 23 - 3

Collect like terms and Subtract the numbers

4f = 23 - 3

4f = 20

Then divide both sides of the equation by 4

f = 5

Answer 2

Explanation:

10f + 3 = 23 + 6f

4f + 3 = 23

4f = 20

f = 5
