So first, we need to distribute:
[tex]2(f-3)+5=3(f-1)[/tex]
[tex]2f-6+5=3f-3[/tex]
Then we simplify like terms that are on the same side of the equal sign:
[tex]2f-1=3f-3[/tex]
Then we need to get the variable on one side. Let's subtract 2f from both sides:
[tex]-1=f-3[/tex]
Then solve for f by adding 3 to both sides:
[tex]f=2[/tex]
So now we know that f = 2.
