Solve the following equation: 82.5 = r + 33.4.
Explain how you rrived a the corrct answer
To solve the equation 82.5 = r + 33.4, you need to isolate the variable r by moving the constant term (33.4) to the other side of the equation.
First, subtract 33.4 from both sides of the equation:
82.5 - 33.4 = r
49.1 = r
Therefore, the correct answer is r = 49.1. I arrived at this answer by following the order of operations and isolating the variable r on one side of the equation.
