To solve for the variable f in the equation 17/3f - 1 = 1, we can first isolate the variable by adding 1 to both sides of the equation:

17/3f - 1 + 1 = 1 + 1
17/3f = 2

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3/17 in order to cancel out the fraction:

(17/3f)(3/17) = 2(3/17)
f = 6/17

Therefore, the value for the variable f is 6/17.
