Question

59 =7r+3 what is the answer

Answer 1

`\boxed{\bold{r=8}}`

Explanation:

Switch sides

`\bold{7r+3=59}`

Subtract 3 from both sides

`\bold{7r+3-3=59-3}`

Simplify

`\bold{7r=56}`

Divide both sides by 7

`\bold{(7r)/(7)=(56)/(7)}`

Simplify

`\bold{r=8}`

Answer 2

r=8

Explanation:

59 =7r+3

Subtract 3 from each side

59 -3 = 7r+3-3

56 = 7r

Divide each side by 7

56/7 = 7r/7

8 =r
