EXPLANATION

Given the expression:


(3)/(4)r\text{ +2r + }(1)/(2)r

First, taking r as a common factor:


r((3)/(4)+2+(1)/(2))

Then, adding 3/4 with 2 as follows:


(3)/(4)+2=(11)/(4)

Replacing on the equation:


r((11)/(4)+(1)/(2))

Adding 11/4 and 1/2:


(11)/(4)+(1)/(2)=(13)/(4)

Replacing on the equation and removing the parentheses:


(13)/(4)r
