Given the following function:


h(r)=√(4-r)

We will find the value of (r) when 3h(r)+2=4

So, we can write the following equation:


3√(4-r)+2=4

We will solve the equation as follows:

1) subtract 2 from both sides


\begin{gathered} 3√(4-r)+2-2=4-2 \\ 3√(4-r)=2 \end{gathered}

2) Divide both sides by 3


√(4-r)=(2)/(3)

3) Square both sides to eliminate the square root.


\begin{gathered} 4-r=((2)/(3))^2 \\ \\ 4-r=(4)/(9) \end{gathered}

4) Combine the like terms


\begin{gathered} r=4-(4)/(9) \\ \\ r=(32)/(9) \end{gathered}

So, the answer will be r = 32/9
