To solve the equation \( \frac{17}{3f} - 1 = 1 \), follow these steps:
-
Add 1 to both sides:
\[ \frac{17}{3f} = 2 \]
-
Multiply both sides by \( 3f \) to eliminate the fraction:
\[ 17 = 2 \cdot 3f \]
-
Simplify the right side:
\[ 17 = 6f \]
-
Divide both sides by 6 to solve for \( f \):
\[ f = \frac{17}{6} \]
The value of \( f \) is \( \frac{17}{6} \), which approximately equals 2.83.
Therefore, none of the provided responses (5, 4, 3, 6) are correct for the variable \( f \).
