Answer: No solution

Explanation:

5r + 5 = 3(5r - 4) - 10r Do multiplication

5r + 5 = 15r - 12 - 10r combine like terms

5r + 5 = 5r - 12 This is impossible. 5r cannot equal 5 and 12 meaning there is no value of r that makes this equation true so there's No Solution.

You could continue

5r + 17 = 5r

-5r =-5r

17=0 which is also not true
