Please help me solve!-

Amy completed a 75-mile
bicycle race in 5 hours. After the race, she realized that the air pressure in her tires was low which slowed her down by an average of 2 miles per hour. She wants to solve the equation to find r, her average speed in miles per hour with properly inflated tires .

5(r - 2) = 75
