2f - 4 = -24/12

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

First simplify -24/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you want to solve for f?

Parth (parthkohli):

Isolation <---- the key

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

12 is divisible by -24 what is -24/12 ?? then add 4 on bothsides and divide by 2

Parth (parthkohli):

-24/12 is what?

Parth (parthkohli):

You just do the opposite operations to isolate a variable.

Parth (parthkohli):

For example it is given 2x = 28, you will DIVIDE by 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-24/12 = -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f = 1

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh yes

Parth (parthkohli):

I deleted it lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank youu all :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2f-4=-24/12 2f-4=-2 (since -24/12=-2) 2f=-2+4=2 f=2/2=1

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

2f -4 + 4 =-2 +4 2f =2 f=1 You're Right!!

Parth (parthkohli):

@ganibl no need

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its Ok @ParthKohli

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

another way to do this is to multiply through by 12 to eliminate the fraction (i don't like fractions!) 24f - 48 = -24 so 24f = 24
