To solve the equation \( 2f + 2 \times 5 - 85 + 2f = 8 \), we will first simplify it.
1. Combine like terms:
\[
2f + 2f + 10 - 85 = 8
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
4f - 75 = 8
\]
2. Now, we will add 75 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \( f \):
\[
4f - 75 + 75 = 8 + 75
\]
Simplifying this gives:
\[
4f = 83
\]
3. Finally, we divide both sides by 4 to solve for \( f \):
\[
f = \frac{83}{4}
\]
4. Evaluating this, we get:
\[
f = 20.75
\]
Thus, the answer is:
**The correct response is:** \( 83/4 \) or \( \frac{83}{4} \)
