Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     26-f-(40)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

 1.1     Pull out like factors :

   -14 - f  =   -1 • (f + 14) 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.1      Solve  :    -f-14 = 0 

 Add  14  to both sides of the equation : 
                      -f = 14
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  f = -14
