is this correct ? check plsss...

given 17= 37 + 4f; f = 5

Answer: first to solve for variable f
by subtracting the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equations
solve: -4f each side of the equation 17 + -4f = 37 + 4f + -4f
combine like terms: 4f + -4f =0 so 17 + -4f = 37 + 0
17 + -4f = 37 then add - 17 to each side of the equation
17 + -17 + -4f = 37 + -17 to combine the like terms: 17 + -17=0
0 + -4f = 37 + -17
-4f = 37 + -17
COMBINE: 37 + -17 = 20
-4f = 20 divide each side by -4 so the answer is f= -5
I hope you will understand my answers. Thank you.



Answer :

this looks one hundred percent correct to me and to check your answer you can plug in the answer you find to the first equation 


17=37+4f 
17=37+4(-5)
17=37-20
17=17 

great job!!
Looks great to me! :D
