Hi, there--
.
Solve for r.
.

.
First, distribute 0.3 across the parentheses.

.
Now we will rewrite this equation as a series of equivalent equations until we have isolated the variable r.
.
Combine like terms. Let's combine the variables on the left side of the equation. Subtract 0.2r from both sides.

.
Combine the constant terms on the right side of the equation. Add 0.9 to both sides of the equation.

.
We want to know the value of 1r so we divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of r; that is 0.4.

.
We can check our work by substituting 4.5 for r in the original equation.

.
This result shows that r=1.8 is the solution.
.
Hope this helps. Feel free to email if you have questions about this solution,
