5f^{-1}=3x+2
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
5\times \frac{1}{f}=3x+2
Reorder the terms.
5\times 1=3xf+f\times 2
Variable f cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by f.
5=3xf+f\times 2
Multiply 5 and 1 to get 5.
3xf+f\times 2=5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(3x+2\right)f=5
Combine all terms containing f.
\frac{\left(3x+2\right)f}{3x+2}=\frac{5}{3x+2}
Divide both sides by 3x+2.
f=\frac{5}{3x+2}
Dividing by 3x+2 undoes the multiplication by 3x+2.
f=\frac{5}{3x+2}\text{, }f\neq 0
Variable f cannot be equal to 0.
5f^{-1}=3x+2
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
3x+2=5f^{-1}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3x=5f^{-1}-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
3x=-2+5\times \frac{1}{f}
Reorder the terms.
3xf=f\left(-2\right)+5\times 1
Multiply both sides of the equation by f.
3xf=f\left(-2\right)+5
Multiply 5 and 1 to get 5.
3fx=5-2f
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3fx}{3f}=\frac{5-2f}{3f}
Divide both sides by 3f.
x=\frac{5-2f}{3f}
Dividing by 3f undoes the multiplication by 3f.
x=-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{5}{3f}
Divide -2f+5 by 3f.
