Question 292591: can you show me steps on how to solve 4r+2(4-r)=5r+7-3r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Move all "r" terms to the left hand side, everything else on the right.
Distribute and simplify first.
4r%2B2%284-r%29=5r%2B7-3r
4r%2B8-2r=2r%2B7
2r%2B8=2r%2B7
Subtract 2r from both sides.
2r-2r%2B8=2r-2r%2B7
8=7
Since that's an inconsistent statement independent of r, there is no solution.
