To solve the equation \( f + 2 = 18 \), you need to isolate \( f \).
- Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation: \[ f + 2 - 2 = 18 - 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ f = 16 \]
For the second part of your question, \( 14f = \) suggests that we need to evaluate \( 14f \) using \( f = 16 \).
- Substitute \( f = 16 \) into \( 14f \): \[ 14f = 14 \times 16 \] Calculate: \[ 14 \times 16 = 224 \]
So, \( f = 16 \) and \( 14f = 224 \).
