Solve for r.

You want to get r by itself on one side on the equal sign.

bh + hr = 25

Subtract bh from both sides.

hr = 25 - bh

Divide h on both sides.

r = 25 - bh / h

The two h's cancel each other out.

r = 25 - b

Hope this helps!

The equation is
bh+hr=25 solve for r,

Subtract 'bh' both side,


bh+hr-bh=25-bh


hr=25-bh

Divide both side by 'h',
