Solve for f 3.7+9f=49.6

$3.7 + 9 f = 49.6$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $f$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $3.7$ from both sides of the equation.

$9 f = 49.6 - 3.7$

Subtract $3.7$ from $49.6$ .

$9 f = 45.9$

Step 2

Divide each term in $9 f = 45.9$ by $9$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $9 f = 45.9$ by $9$ .

$\frac{9 f}{9} = \frac{45.9}{9}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $9$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{9 f}{9} = \frac{45.9}{9}$

Divide $f$ by $1$ .

$f = \frac{45.9}{9}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $45.9$ by $9$ .

$f = 5.1$
