Question

solve for f.
-5 + \sqrt{f} = 7

f = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the square root term

Add 5 to both sides of the equation \(-5 + \sqrt{f} = 7\) to isolate the square root term.
\(-5 + \sqrt{f}+ 5= 7 + 5\)
\(\sqrt{f}=12\)

Step2: Eliminate the square root

Square both sides of the equation \(\sqrt{f}=12\) to solve for \(f\).
\((\sqrt{f})^2 = 12^2\)
\(f = 144\)

Answer:

\(144\)
