Answer:

r = 5

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−3(4r−8)=−36

(−3)(4r)+(−3)(−8)=−36(Distribute)

−12r+24=−36

Step 2: Subtract 24 from both sides.

−12r+24−24=−36−24

−12r=−60

Step 3: Divide both sides by -12.

−12r = −60

-12 -12

r=5

Hope this helped! :)

Have great day!
