To solve the equation \(2f5 - 85 + 2f = 8\), we first need to rewrite it in a clearer format.
However, it seems you might have a typo with "2f5." I'll assume you meant to write "2f" that is multiplied by "5," making the equation look like this:
\[ 2f \cdot 5 - 85 + 2f = 8 \]
Let's simplify it step by step:
- Distribute \(2f \cdot 5\):
\[ 10f - 85 + 2f = 8 \]
- Combine like terms (\(10f\) and \(2f\)):
\[ 12f - 85 = 8 \]
- Add 85 to both sides:
\[ 12f = 8 + 85 \] \[ 12f = 93 \]
- Divide both sides by 12 to isolate \(f\):
\[ f = \frac{93}{12} \]
- Simplify the fraction \( \frac{93}{12} \):
\[ f = \frac{31}{4} = 7.75 \quad \text{(or 7 and 3/4)} \]
Since none of the provided responses match \(7.75\), let's confirm whether the options align better with the fraction form.
Con 1: \( 16/6 = 8/3 \) Con 2: \( 31/4 \)
None of the available choices are exact, but it seems the correct answer is \( \frac{31}{4} \), or if approximated, \( 7.75 \).
Based on the nearest simplified fraction available as a response, although none match perfectly, the closest choices do not match correctly with the answer derived from \(2f5 - 85 + 2f = 8\).
Please ensure the equation was written correctly for the answer selection to be appropriate.
If \(2f5\) was indeed meant to refer to a specific value or other operator, please clarify.
