Solution for 7(f-1)=45 equation: Simplifying 7(f + -1) = 45 Reorder the terms: 7(-1 + f) = 45 (-1 * 7 + f * 7) = 45 (-7 + 7f) = 45 Solving -7 + 7f = 45 Solving for variable 'f'. Move all terms containing f to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '7' to each side of the equation. -7 + 7 + 7f = 45 + 7 Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0 0 + 7f = 45 + 7 7f = 45 + 7 Combine like terms: 45 + 7 = 52 7f = 52 Divide each side by '7'. f = 7.428571429 Simplifying f = 7.428571429

so just seperate f... first divide 45 by 7 ...and then add 1... see whats the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur answer is right...but u r doing it too long ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm a little lost how come you get -1 when in parenthesis it says f minus 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okey let me explain then...!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first divide 7 on both sides of thie equation...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u will get f-1=45/7 f-1=6.42 then add 1 on both sides of the equation... f-1+1=6.42+1 u will get f=7.42....simpleee
