Answer:

f = 8

Explanation:

21 + 5f = 61

5f = 61 - 21

f = (61 - 21) / 5

f = 8

Answer:

f = 8

Explanation:

"Sum" = addition

"Times" = multiplication

Write an equation to represent this scenario

21 + 5 * f = 61

Multiply 5 by f

21 + 5f = 61

Subtract 21 from both sides of the equation

5f = 40

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

f = 8

Hope this helps :)
