To solve for the variable f, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
1. Start with the given equation: 173f - 1 = 1.
2. Add 1 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the -1 on the left side: 173f - 1 + 1 = 1 + 1.
3. Simplify: 173f = 2.
4. Divide both sides of the equation by 173 to isolate f: 173f/173 = 2/173.
5. Simplify: f = 2/173.
Thus, the value for the variable f is 2/173.
