Question

7=8 + r/15
Simplify, with steps pleaseee

Answer 1

`7 = 8 + (r)/(15) \\ 7 - 8 = (r)/(15) \\ - 1 = (r)/(15) \\ \therefore \: r = - 15`

Answer 2

Explanation:

I think you mean solve for r, do you not?

7 = 8 + r/15 Subtract 8 from both sides

-8 -8

-1 = r/15 Multiply both sides by 15

-1 * 15 = 15 * r / 15 Combine

-15 = r
