Answer 1

To find the value of the variable \( f \) in the equation \( 173f - 1 = 1 \), we can solve it step by step:

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

2. Divide both sides by 173 to isolate \( f \):
\[
f = \frac{2}{173}
\]

Now, let's check the options provided (5, 4, 3, and 6). None of these options are equal to \( \frac{2}{173} \).

It looks like there’s an error in the question or the provided responses. Can you confirm the equation or specify any additional information?
