Distribute and simplify to get 6f=9. This means f=1.5 plug 1.5 in for 12f and get 18. 18+1=19

8f+7-2f=16\\6f=16-7\\6f=9\\f=(9)/(6)

We know f, now we want the 12f+1

Therefore, Substitute f = 9/6 in 12f+1


12((9)/(6))+1\\ = 2*9+1\\=18+1\\=19

If you are wondering where 2*9 comes from, it comes from the 12(9/6) and 12 is divided by 6 then we get 2 and multiply the 9 as we get 2*9.
