Help me with this please it says how can you isolate the term f/3 in f/3 + 22 = 17

Answer:
[tex]\sf {\dfrac {f}{3}}+22=17 [/tex]
[tex]\sf {\dfrac {f}{3}}[/tex]
[tex]{:}\dashrightarrow[/tex][tex]\sf {\dfrac {f}{3}}+22=17 [/tex]
[tex]{:}\dashrightarrow[/tex][tex]\sf {\dfrac {f}{3}}=17-22 [/tex]
[tex]{:}\dashrightarrow[/tex][tex]\sf {\dfrac {f}{3}}=-5 [/tex]
[tex]\therefore[/tex][tex]{\underline{\boxed{\bf {\dfrac {f}{3}}=(-5)}}}[/tex]
Answer: Subtract 22 from both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
f/3 +22 = 17
f/3 +22 -22 = 17 -22 Subtracting the same value from both sides keeps the equation equal.
Then simplify. The +22 and -22= 0 They "cancel" 17-22 = -5
f/3 = -17 f/3 is now isolated-- by itself-- in the equation.
If you had to solve for f, the next step would be to multiply both sides by 3.
