For this case we have the following equation:


\frac {2} {5} * (3r + 4) = 10

We must clear the variable "r":

We multiply by
\frac {2} {5} * (3r + 4) = 10 \ frac {5} {2} on both sides of the equation:


\frac {2} {5} * \frac {5} {2} (3r + 4) = 10 * \frac {5} {2}\\3r + 4 = \frac {50} {2}\\3r + 4 = 25

We subtract 4 on both sides of the equation:


3r + 4-4 = 25-4\\3r = 21

We divide between 3 on both sides of the equation:


\frac {3r} {3} = \frac {21} {3}\\r = 7

Answer:


r = 7
