Answer 1

the answer is c

Explanation:

Answer 2

• 
  `\boxed{\sf{r=18}}`

Explanation:

To solve the equation, isolate the variable from one side of the equation.

-22=-40+r

First, switch sides.

`\Rightarrow: \sf{-40+r=-22}`

Then, you add by 40 from both sides.

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{-40+r+40=-22+40}`

Solve.

Add or subtract the numbers from left to right.

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{-22+40=18}`

`\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{r=18}}`

• Therefore, the correct answer is C. "r=18".
