Full solution

Q. Solve for ff.\newline3=f+743 = f + \frac{7}{4}\newlinef=f = _____
  1. Isolate variable f: Isolate the variable f by subtracting 74\frac{7}{4} from both sides of the equation.\newline3=f+743 = f + \frac{7}{4}\newline374=f+74743 - \frac{7}{4} = f + \frac{7}{4} - \frac{7}{4}\newline374=f3 - \frac{7}{4} = f
  2. Convert whole number: Convert the whole number 33 to a fraction with the same denominator as 74\frac{7}{4} to perform the subtraction.\newline3=313 = \frac{3}{1}\newlineTo have the same denominator, multiply both the numerator and denominator of 31\frac{3}{1} by 44.\newline(31)×(44)=124\left(\frac{3}{1}\right) \times \left(\frac{4}{4}\right) = \frac{12}{4}\newlineNow subtract 74\frac{7}{4} from 124\frac{12}{4}.\newline12474=f\frac{12}{4} - \frac{7}{4} = f
  3. Perform fraction subtraction: Perform the subtraction of the fractions.\newline12474=1274\frac{12}{4} - \frac{7}{4} = \frac{12 - 7}{4}\newline54=f\frac{5}{4} = f
