Final answer:

To solve the inequality −6r − 5(−10r + 6) ≤ 3r + 9 + 2r for r, we performed distribution, combined like terms, and isolated r to find that r ≤ 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked to solve the inequality for r.

The inequality given is −6r − 5(−10r + 6) ≤ 3r + 9 + 2r. Let's solve it step by step.

  • First, distribute the −5 across the terms inside the parenthesis: −6r + 50r − 30 ≤ 3r + 9 + 2r.
  • Combine like terms: 44r − 30 ≤ 5r + 9.
  • Subtract 5r from both sides to get the r terms on one side: 39r − 30 ≤ 9.
  • Add 30 to both sides to get the constant terms on the other: 39r ≤ 39.
  • Divide both sides by 39 to solve for r: r ≤ 1.

Thus, the simplest form of the solution to the inequality is r ≤ 1.
