Question 848998: The distance d a car can travel is found
by multiplying its rate of speed r by the amount of
time t that it took to travel the distance. If a car has
already traveled 5 miles, the total distance d is found
by the formula d = rt + 5 . Solve the formula for r.

SOLVE FOR r:
given, ;
The justification for the steps but without actually showing those steps are:
(1) Additive Inverse of 5;
(2) Multiplicative Inverse of t.
As a hint, how do you undo what was done to r?
