Question

R over 5 + 37 = 88 what is R

Answer 1

Use the properties of equalities to solve the equation and find the value of R.

`(R)/(5)+37=88`

First, subtract 37 from both members of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow(R)/(5)+37-37=88-37 \\ \\ \Rightarrow(R)/(5)=51 \end{gathered}`

Next, multiply both members of the equation by 5 to get rid of the denominator on the left member:

`\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow5*(R)/(5)=5*51 \\ \\ \Rightarrow R=255 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value of R is 255.
