6f-8f%2B4%28f-3%29=-2%28f%2B4%29 Start with the given equation



6f-8f%2B4f-12=-2f-8 Distribute


2f-12=-2f-8 Combine like terms on the left side


2f=-2f-8%2B12Add 12 to both sides


2f%2B2f=-8%2B12 Add 2f to both sides


4f=-8%2B12 Combine like terms on the left side


4f=4 Combine like terms on the right side


f=%284%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate f



f=1 Divide

Answer:
So our answer is f=1
