Answer:

r=-4

Explanation:

-4r-11=4r+21

Subract 4r from each side.

-4r-4r-11=21

-8r-11=21

Add 11 to each side.

-8r=21+11

-8r=32

Divide both sides by -8.

r=
(32)/(-8)

r=-4

-4r-11=4r+21

Move 4r to the other side

Sign changes from +4r to -4r

-4r-4r-11=4r-4r+21

-4r-4r-11=21

-8r-11=21

Move -11 to the other side

Sign changes from -11 to +11

-8r-11+11=21+11

-8r=21+11

-8r=32

Divide both sides by -8

-8r/-8=32/-8
