20=-4%28f%2B6%29%2B14 Start with the given equation.


20=-4f-24%2B14 Distribute.


20=-10-4f Combine like terms on the right side.


0=-10-4f-20 Subtract 20 from both sides.


4f=-10-20 Add 4f to both sides.


4f=-30 Combine like terms on the right side.


f=%28-30%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate f.


f=-15%2F2 Reduce.
