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

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

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
