Question

PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 1

To solve for f, you need to isolate/get the variable by itself in the equation:

4(0.5f - 0.25) = 6 + f       Distribute 4 into (0.5f - 0.25)

(4)0.5f + (4)(-0.25) = 6 + f

2f - 1 = 6 + f        Subtract f on both sides to get "f" on one side of the equation

2f - f - 1 = 6 + f - f

f - 1 = 6       Add 1 on both sides to get "f" by itself

f - 1 + 1 = 6 + 1

f = 7

PROOF

4(0.5f - 0.25) = 6 + f      Substitute/plug in 7 into "f" since f = 7

4(0.5(7) - 0.25) = 6 + 7

4(3.5 - 0.25) = 13

4(3.25) = 13

13 = 13
