Given the equation:

13 = 2f + 5

Solve the equation.

Solution:

In order to solve the equation, we simply transpose 5 to the other side. Hence, it must be taken to note tha in transposing a number, the sign changes.

13 = 2f + 5

13 - 5 = 2f

8 = 2f

Divide both sides by 2f in order to determine the value of f.

8/2 = 2f/2

f = 4

Final answer:

f =4
