12r - 4r = 48 what does r equal

12r - 4r = 48

8r = 48
r = 48/8
r = ?

what is 12r - 4r = 48 what does r equals ? I don't understand. does r=8? This is hard for me.

thanks Ms sue

No.

r does not equal 8

8r = 48 means that some number times 8 = 48

What number times 8 = 48?

We divide 48 by 8 to find the value of r.

on my lesson it shows 12r - 4r = 48 r= me and my grandmother can't get the answer.

would the answer be r=48

Shania.

12r - 4r = 8r. Right?

What is 48 divided by 8?

mrs. Thompson is putting new tile on her bathroom floor. Each tile measures 2 inches on each side. The bathroom floor is 3 feet long and 2 feet wide. How many tiles will she use to cover the entire floor.

Answer would actually be 6

Answer would actually be 6 because 48 divided by 8 is 6

To find the value of r in the equation 12r - 4r = 48, we can simplify the equation and then solve for r.

First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms. We have 12r - 4r, which equals 8r. Therefore, the equation becomes 8r = 48.

To solve for r, we need to isolate the variable r by dividing both sides of the equation by 8. This gives us:

8r/8 = 48/8

Simplifying further, we get:

r = 6

Therefore, r equals 6.
