Question

Help me with this please it says how can you isolate the term f/3 in f/3 + 22 = 17

Answer 1

Answer: Subtract 22 from both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

f/3 +22 = 17

f/3 +22 -22 = 17 -22  Subtracting the same value from both sides keeps the equation equal.  

Then simplify. The +22 and -22= 0 They "cancel"   17-22 = -5

f/3 = -17  f/3 is now isolated-- by itself-- in the equation.

If you had to solve for f, the next step would be to multiply both sides by  3.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given:

$\sf {\dfrac {f}{3}}+22=17$

<h3 />

To find:-

$\sf {\dfrac {f}{3}}$

Solution:-

• First write the equation

${:}\dashrightarrow$$\sf {\dfrac {f}{3}}+22=17$

• Now take 22 to the other side by which the "+"sign will turn "-".

${:}\dashrightarrow$$\sf {\dfrac {f}{3}}=17-22$

• Simplify

${:}\dashrightarrow$$\sf {\dfrac {f}{3}}=-5$

$\therefore$${\underline{\boxed{\bf {\dfrac {f}{3}}=(-5)}}}$
