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?

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

GPT-4o mini · Answer

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.
