Answer 1

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.
