Question
here are several ways to start solving this equation. You can start by making sure there are only f terms on one side. Let’s get rid of the f terms on the right so there are only f terms on the left. What move can you make to both sides of the equation to get rid of the −10f on the right, so that the f terms are only on the left, while keeping the equation balanced?
22f−12=−10f−8
Multiply both sides by 10f
Add 10f to both sides
Subtract 10f from both sides
22f−12=−10f−8
Multiply both sides by 10f
Add 10f to both sides
Subtract 10f from both sides

To get rid of the \(-10f\) on the right side of the equation \(22f - 12 = -10f - 8\) and keep the equation balanced, you should **add \(10f\) to both sides** of the equation.
This will give you:
\[
22f + 10f - 12 = -10f + 10f - 8
\]
Which simplifies to:
\[
32f - 12 = -8
\]
Now you have all \(f\) terms on the left side of the equation.
This will give you:
\[
22f + 10f - 12 = -10f + 10f - 8
\]
Which simplifies to:
\[
32f - 12 = -8
\]
Now you have all \(f\) terms on the left side of the equation.
