a.1
b.5
c.9
d.25
is it b?
Without parentheses, it depends upon how you interpret the problem.
r/5-2=3
r/5 = 5
r = 25
or
r/3 = 3
r = 9
thank you ms.sue
You're welcome.
To solve the equation r/5 - 2 = 3, you need to isolate the variable r.
First, let's get rid of the -2 on the left side of the equation. We can do this by adding 2 to both sides:
r/5 - 2 + 2 = 3 + 2
This simplifies to:
r/5 = 5
To isolate r, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5:
5 * (r/5) = 5 * 5
This simplifies to:
r = 25
So, the value of r is 25.
Based on the given options, the correct answer is d. 25.
