Question 265204


{{{7r-(2r+8)=32}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{7r-2r-8=32}}} Distribute.



{{{5r-8=32}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5r=32+8}}} Add {{{8}}} to both sides.



{{{5r=40}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{r=(40)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{r}}}.



{{{r=8}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{r=8}}}
