Question

I need help on this show steps pleaseeee!!!

Answer 1

Step #1 - convert 1 ⅓ into a mixed number,


`(1)/(2)r - (1)/(3) - (4)/(3) = - (7)/(3)`

Step #2 - calculate the sum or difference of - ⅓ by -4/3,


`(1)/(2)r - (5)/(3) = - (7)/(3)`

Step #3 - Multiply both sides by 6,


`(1)/(2) (6)r - (5)/(3) (6) = - (7)/(3) (6)`


`3r - 10 = - 14`

Step #4 - Move constant ( - 10 ) to the right and change its sign,


`3r = - 14 + 10`

Step #5 - Calculate the sum


`3r = - 4`

Step #6 - Divide both sides by 3 so we can isolate the variable r,


`r = - (4)/(3)`
