Answer 1

To find the value of the variable \( f \) in the equation \( 173f - 1 = 1 \), follow these steps:

1. Add 1 to both sides of the equation: \[ 173f - 1 + 1 = 1 + 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ 173f = 2 \]

2. Divide both sides by 173: \[ f = \frac{2}{173} \]

Since \(\frac{2}{173}\) does not match any of the provided responses (4, 3, 5, or 6), it’s important to note that \( f \) does not take on any of those values. If intention behind the question was to provide numeric values, consider checking whether there was a different equation or a mistake in transcription.

For the equation given, \( f = \frac{2}{173} \).
