See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

To solve this problem you equate each term in parenthesis to 0:

Solution 1)

f - 16 = 0

f - 16 + color(red)(16) = 0 + color(red)(16)

f - 0 = 16

f = 16

Solution 2)

f - 27 = 0

f - 27 + color(red)(27) = 0 + color(red)(27)

f - 0 = 27

f = 27

The solution is: f = 16 and f = 27
