What is the value for the variable f in 173f−1=1?(1 point)

To find the value of the variable \( f \) in the equation \( 173f - 1 = 1 \), follow these steps:

1. **Add 1 to both sides of the equation**:
\[
173f - 1 + 1 = 1 + 1
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
173f = 2
\]

2. **Divide both sides by 173**:
\[
f = \frac{2}{173}
\]

Since \(\frac{2}{173}\) does not match any of the provided responses (4, 3, 5, or 6), it’s important to note that \( f \) does not take on any of those values. If intention behind the question was to provide numeric values, consider checking whether there was a different equation or a mistake in transcription.

For the equation given, \( f = \frac{2}{173} \).
