Answer: r+7 is irrational

Explanation:

1) If r is irrational, that means that it goes on and on forever.

2) 7 is a rational number because it can be expressed as a quotient of 2 integers (7÷1=7)

3) If you add a rational number to an irrational number it is still irrational. The numbers after the decimal point keep going and going. You are just changing the whole number, which if to the left of the decimal point.
