r = -45

r = 45


plz explain step by step and show work

Answer 1

r = -45

Explanation:

okay so to solve for r you have to isolate r

and in order to that you must use inverse operations, in this case you have to multiply since its the opposite of dividing

r/5 = -9

multiply both sides of the equal sign by 5 to isolate r

then you will get

r = -45

making -45 your answer

Answer 2

r=-45

Explanation:

r/5=-9

OUR GOAL: To isolate the variable "r" on one side...

1) Multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to get r on one side:

r=-9*5

2) Multiply:

r=-45
