add 10f to both sides of the equation to get rid of −10f on the right so that the f terms are only on the left side.

Answer 1

To eliminate \(-10f\) from the right side of the equation, we can indeed add \(10f\) to both sides. Let's do this step by step:

Starting with the original equation:

\[ 22f - 10 = -10f - 8 \]

Now, add \(10f\) to both sides:

\[ 22f - 10 + 10f = -10f - 8 + 10f \]

This simplifies to:

\[ (22f + 10f) - 10 = -8 \]

So now we have:

\[ 32f - 10 = -8 \]

Now the \(f\) terms are only on the left side of the equation.
