Question

Solve 5(r—1)=2(r-4)-6 step by step

Answer 1

r = -3

Explanation:

Performing the indicated multiplication on both sides of this equation, we get:

5r - 5 = 2r - 8 - 6

Combining the r terms: 3r - 5 = - 8 - 6.

Combining the constants: 3r = 5 - 14, or 3r = -9.

Dividing both sides by 3, to isolate r, we get: r = -3
