Answer:
r = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
-3r + 4(-3r +2) = 53
-3r + -12r + 8 = 53
-8 -8
-3r + -12r = 45
-15r = 45
Divide both sides by -15 to get
r = -3
Answer:
r = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
expand 4(-3r+2)
= -12r+8
add similar variables
= -15r+8=53
subtract 8 from both sides
= -15r+8-8=53-8
simplify
= -15r=45
divide 45 by -15
= -3
