Question

12- 1/5r = 2r + 1

R=??

Answer 1

r = 5

Explanation:

12 - 1/5r = 2r + 1

12 - 0.2r = 2r + 1

12 - 0.2r + 0.2r = 2r + 0.2r + 1

12 = 2.2r + 1

12 - 1 = 2.2r + 1 - 1

2.2r = 11

2.2r ÷ 2.2 = 11 ÷ 2.2

r = 5

Answer 2

r = 5

Explanation:

12- 1/5r = 2r + 1

12 = 11/5r + 1

5(11) = (11/5r)5

55 = 11r

r = 5
