Question

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

Answer 1

r=−1/5

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(r−10)=−51

(5)(r)+(5)(−10)=−51(Distribute)

5r+−50=−51

5r−50=−51

Step 2: Add 50 to both sides.

5r−50+50=−51+50

5r=−1Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

5r/5=−1/5

r=−1/5

Answer 2

r = - ¹/₅ or -0.2

Explanation:

5(r - 10) = -51

5r - 50 = -51

5r = -51 + 50

5r = -1

r = - ¹/₅ or 0.2
