Hello!

Let's begin by multiplying all 3 terms by 4, to remove the fraction:

2(r-3) - 8(4) = 50(4)

Then 2r - 6 - 32 = 200. Consolidating the constants on the right side, we get:

2r = 162. Solving for r, we divide both sides by 2, obtaining r = 81 (answer)

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a equation:


(2(r-3))/(4)-8=50

adding 8 on both sides, we get


(2(r-3))/(4)=58

Multiplying both sides by 4, we get


2(r-3)=58* 4

Dividing both sides by 2, we get


(r-3)=58* 2

or r-3= 116

adding 3 on both sides, we get

r=119

Hence, Value of r is:

119
