Question

Solve for r 5(r-10)=-51

Answer 1

`\boxed {r = -(1)/(5)}`

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
`r`:

`5(r - 10) = -51`

-Use Distributive Property:

`5(r - 10) = -51`

`5r - 50 = -51`

-Add
`50` on both sides:

`5r - 50 + 50 = -51 +50`

`5r = -1`

-Take
`5` and divide it on both sides:

`(5r)/(5) = (-1)/(5)`

`\boxed {r = -(1)/(5)}`

Therefore, the value of
`r` is
`-(1)/(5)`.

Answer 2

r = -0.2

Explanation:

5r-50=-51

5r=-1

r= -0.2

Thats what I got based on PEMDAS...
