2%2F%28r-5%29+%2B+3%2F%282r%2B1%29+=+22%2F%28%282r%2B1%29%28r-5%29%29


2%282r%2B1%29%2B3%28r-5%29=22
4r%2B2%2B3r-15=22
7r-13=22
7r=35
r=5
However, in eliminating the denominators we assumed that r-5%3C%3E0 and 2r%2B1%3C%3E0 to avoid division by zero.
So r=5 is not a possible solution.
No solution.
