Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

$f=-15$

Here’s why:  

• We would use inverse operations to solve for 'f'.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Solving for "f":}}\\\\\frac{f}{3} =-5\\--------\\\rightarrow\frac{f}{3}*3=-5*3\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{f=-15}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

• The inverse operation of division is multiplication, which is why we multiplied by 3 on each side.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
