Given the equation [tex]f + 24 = -3[/tex], solve for [tex]f[/tex].

A. [tex]-21[/tex]
B. [tex]8[/tex]
C. [tex]-27[/tex]
D. [tex]-72[/tex]

Answer :

Sure! Let's solve the equation step-by-step:

We are given the equation:

[tex]\[ f + 24 = -3 \][/tex]

Our goal is to solve for [tex]\( f \)[/tex]. To do this, we need to isolate [tex]\( f \)[/tex] on one side of the equation. Here's how we can do that:

1. Subtract 24 from both sides of the equation to get [tex]\( f \)[/tex] by itself:

[tex]\[ f + 24 - 24 = -3 - 24 \][/tex]

2. Simplify both sides:

On the left side, [tex]\( f + 24 - 24 \)[/tex] simplifies to [tex]\( f \)[/tex].

On the right side, [tex]\(-3 - 24 \)[/tex] simplifies to [tex]\(-27\)[/tex].

So, we have:

[tex]\[ f = -27 \][/tex]

Therefore, the solution is [tex]\( f = -27 \)[/tex].
