5f^{-1}x=21-6x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
5\times \frac{1}{f}x=-6x+21
Reorder the terms.
5\times 1x=-6xf+f\times 21
Variable f cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by f.
5x=-6xf+f\times 21
Multiply 5 and 1 to get 5.
-6xf+f\times 21=5x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(-6x+21\right)f=5x
Combine all terms containing f.
\left(21-6x\right)f=5x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(21-6x\right)f}{21-6x}=\frac{5x}{21-6x}
Divide both sides by -6x+21.
f=\frac{5x}{21-6x}
Dividing by -6x+21 undoes the multiplication by -6x+21.
f=\frac{5x}{3\left(7-2x\right)}
Divide 5x by -6x+21.
f=\frac{5x}{3\left(7-2x\right)}\text{, }f\neq 0
Variable f cannot be equal to 0.
5f^{-1}x=21-6x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
5f^{-1}x+6x=21
Add 6x to both sides.
6x+5\times \frac{1}{f}x=21
Reorder the terms.
6xf+5\times 1x=21f
Multiply both sides of the equation by f.
6xf+5x=21f
Multiply 5 and 1 to get 5.
\left(6f+5\right)x=21f
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(6f+5\right)x}{6f+5}=\frac{21f}{6f+5}
Divide both sides by 5+6f.
x=\frac{21f}{6f+5}
Dividing by 5+6f undoes the multiplication by 5+6f.
