Question

What is 4 - 7f = f - 12

Answer 1

4 - 7f = f - 12

Subtract f from both sides.

4 - 7f - f = -12

Subtract 4 from both sides.

-7f - f = -12 - 4

Simplify.

-8f = -16

Divide both sides by -8.

f = 2

To show your work, simply plug in the value of f into the original equation.

When f = 2, :

4 - 7f = f - 12

4 - 7(2) = (2) - 12

Simplify.

4 - 14 = 2 - 12

Simplify.

-12 = -12

So, f = 2
