Answer: -3/2

Why:

First we are going to want to distribute the -4/3 into (r + 3)

This gives us: -4/3r -4 = -2

Next let’s get rid of the denominator of 3 on the fraction -4/3 we can do this by multiplying everything on both sides of the equation by 3

This gives us: -4r - 12 = -6

Next let’s add 12 to both sides to cancel out -12:

-4r = 6

Finally let’s divide both sides by -4 to cancel it out as well:

r = 6/-4 which can simplify into -3/2

Answer:

-4 = -6(r+3)

r+3 = 2/3

r = -1/2/3
