Answer:


\ r \ge -3 \

Explanation:


7 - 9r - (r + 12) \le 25

Remember that to deal with the negative sign to the left of the parentheses, you must think of it as a -1 multiplying the parentheses, and you distribute the -1 by multiply each term inside the parentheses by -1. That changes all the signs inside the parentheses.


7 - 9r - r - 12 \le 25

Combine like terms on the left side.


-10r - 5 \le 25

Add 5 to both sides.


-10r \le 30

We now divide both sides by -10. Remember that when you divide both sides fo an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign changes direction.


r \ge -3

Answer:
\r
