<PRE><B>Question 216466</B>
{{{7-3r=r-4(2+r)}}}


Step 1.  The following steps will solve the above equation


{{{7-3r=r-8-4r=-3r-8}}}


{{{7-3r=-3r-8}}}


Step 2.  Add 3r to both sides


{{{7-3r+3r=-3r-8+3r}}}


{{{7=-8}}} which is not a true statement


Step 3.  ANSWER:  There is no solution to {{{7-3r=r-4(2+r)}}}


I hope the above steps were helpful.
