Simplify the equation: Simplify the equation 3(6−f)−4 by using the distributive property.3(6−f)−4=3⋅6−3⋅f−4=18−3f−4=14−3f
Get all f terms on one side: Now we have the simplified equation 14−3f=3f−4.To solve for f, we need to get all the f terms on one side and the constants on the other side.Add 3f to both sides of the equation.14−3f+3f=3f−4+3f14=6f−4
Isolate the term with f: Next, add 4 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with f. 14+4=6f−4+4 18=6f
Solve for f: Finally, divide both sides by 6 to solve for f.618=66f3=f
