Hey there!


Answer:\boxed{r>1}


-26+13r+2>2-13r

Let's start by simplifying both sides of the inequality.


13r-24>-13r+2

Now add 13r to both sides of the inequality.


13r-24+13r>-13r+2+13r\\26r-24>2

Now add 24 to both sides of the inequality.


26r-24+24>2+24\\26r>26

In our fourth/last step, we will divide both sides of the inequality by 26.


(26r)/(26)>(26)/(26)\\ r>1


\boxed{r>1}\text{ is your final answer.}

Hope this helps!
