add seven to both sides
You have to get "f" by itself. Since you are subtracting 7 from f, to get it by itself, add 7 to both sides. -7 + 7 = 0, this clears f by itself and 7 + 5 = 12. So 12 = f
What number minus 7 gives you 5?
how do I turn decimals into fractions
5=f-7
5+7 = f-7+7
12=f

There for f = 12
