Question

Solve for the value of r.

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

The two given angles are opposite angles and opposite angles always have the same measure. Knowing this, we can construct the following equation:

7r+6=8r-8

Subtract both sides by 6

7r+6-6=8r-8-6

7r=8r-14

Subtract both sides by 8r

7r-8r=8r-14-8r

-r=-14

Divide both sides by -1

r=14
