4r-3=5%2B3r

Step 1. Goal is to get only numbers on one side and the variable on the other side of the equation. First, subtract 3r from both sides of the equation to put the variable r in the left side.

4r-3-3r=5%2B3r-3r

r-3=5

Step 2. Add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate r by itself and you'll have numbers only on the right side.

r-3%2B3=5%2B3

r=8

Step 3. Now, check solution r=8 by substituting into the original given equation 4r-3=5%2B3r and see if it leads to a true statement.

4%2A8-3=5%2B3%2A8

32-3=5%2B24

29=29 which is a true statement.

Step 4. ANSWER: The solution is r=8

I hope the above steps were helpful.
