-5k%2Bar=r-5y Start with the given equation.


ar=r-5y%2B5k Add 5k to both sides.


ar-r=-5y%2B5k Subtract 'r' from both sides.


ar-r=5k-5y Rearrange the terms.


r%28a-1%29=5k-5y Factor out the GCF 'r'


r=%285k-5y%29%2F%28a-1%29 Divide both sides by a-1.


So the solution is r=%285k-5y%29%2F%28a-1%29
