Question

Solve the proportional equation 3/r = 5/r+3

Answer 1

r=9/2 or 4.5

Explanation:

First of all our goal is to get R by itself

by cross multiplying we get,

(r+3)*3=5r

by distributive property we get

3r+9=5r

substracting 3r from both sides we get

9=2r

by dividing by 2 in both sides we get

r=9/2 or 4.5
