If a system of two thin lenses, one is a converging lense L1 with focal distance of f and the other is a diverging lens L2 with focal distance of -5f/8. They are separated by a distance of f/2

The question is to find the principal planes of the system by ray tracing and calculations and the equivalent focal length. My question is what is the meaning of equivalent focal length , represents what distance?I know what is the focal length of one lens, but I dont get what represents in the entire system. The same goes the principal planes, I know what they are in a thick lens, but in a system I have a hard time understanding.

Two thin lenses with a focal length of magnitude 12.0 cm, the first diverging and second converging, are located 9.00cm apart. An object 2.50mm tall is placed 20.0cm to the left of the first (diverging) lens. Note that focal length of diverging lens is a negative number while focal length of converging lens would be positive. a) Draw a figure showing both lenses and use principal rays to find approximate position of the image formed by the first lens. b)...
