Question

What is the answer to -5f=-3(8-f)

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

to start this

you need to open the bracket, by multiplying -3(8-f)

we get

-5f = -3*8 -3 * (-f)

-5f = -24 + 3f

we collect like terms by taking f to where there is f so as to simplify our work

so we get

-5f -3f = -24

we get -3f because when a sign  + or - crosses an equal sign, the sign changes that is. + changes to -, while - chnages to +

so add them

-8f = -24

minus (-) will cancel minus the we get

8f = 24

divide both side by 8

8f/8 = 24/8

f = 3

so f is = 3

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-5f=-3(8-f)

Opening bracket

-5f = - 24 + 3f

Collecting like terms

-5f - 3f = -24

-8f = -24

Dividing by -8

f = -24/-8

f = 3
