r over 2 + 6 =5
r/2 + 6 = 5
r/2 = -1
r = -2
r/(2 + 6) = 5
r/8 = 5
Multiply both sides by 8.
r = 40
I wonder why anthony hasn't responded about why we posted two different answers.
probably confused about how it could have happened...
To solve the equation r over 2 + 6 = 5, we need to isolate the variable r.
Step 1: Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation to eliminate the constant term 6.
(r/2) + 6 - 6 = 5 - 6
Simplifying this, we get:
(r/2) = -1
Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get rid of the fraction and isolate the variable r.
2 * (r/2) = -1 * 2
This simplifies to:
r = -2
So, the solution to the equation r over 2 + 6 = 5 is r = -2.
