What is the value for the variable f in 173f−1=1 ?(1 point) Responses 5 5 4 4 3 3 6

To solve the equation \( 173f - 1 = 1 \), we can follow these steps:

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

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

This means \( f \) does not equal any of the provided options (5, 4, 3, 6). Instead, it equals \( \frac{2}{173} \), which is approximately 0.0115.
