Question

Whats f? 0.62(f + –6) + 6.96 = 8.2

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

1. Distribute 0.62 to each term in the parenthesis:

0.62(f) + 0.62(-6)

0.62f - 3.72 + 6.96 = 8.2

2. Add 3.72 and 6.96:

0.62f - 3.72 + 6.96 = 8.2

0.62f + 3.24 = 8.2

3. Subtract 3.24 from both sides of the equation:

0.62f + 3.24-3.24 = 8.2-3.24

0.62f = 4.96

4. Divide 0.62 by both sides to isolate f:

0.62f/0.62 = 4.96/0.62

f = 8

hope this helps!

Answer 2

f=8

Explanation:

0.62(f+(-6)+6.96=8.2

0.62(f-6)+6.96=8.2

multiply both sides by 100

0.62(f-6)*100+6.96*100=8.2*100

Refine

62(f-6)+696=820

Subtract 696 from both sides

62(f-6)+696-696=820-696

Simplify

62(f-6)=124

Divide both sides by 62

62(f-6)/62 = 124/62

Simplify

f-6=2

add 6 to both sides

f-6+6=2+6

simplify

f=8
