To solve the equation \( 146 + f = 225 \), follow these steps:

First, subtract 146 from both sides of the equation.

Next, simplify the equation to get the solution: f = 79.

Check the solution by substituting 79 for \( f \) and simplifying:

Substituting gives us \( 146 + 79 = 225 \). When we simplify, \( 225 = 225 \), which confirms that the solution is correct.
