OpenStudy (anonymous):

-112

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[r/ (-5-3) =14\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that what u meant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well any ways -5-3 or -5+-3= -8 so r/-8= 14 cross multiply -8* 14 and you should get r.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i meant, r over -5 is a fraction. then it says -3 = 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ r }{ -5} - 3 = 14\] \[\frac{ r }{ -5 } = \frac{ 17 }{1 }\] Cross multiply 17 and -5. \[17 \times -5 = -85\] Divide -85 by 1. \[-85\div1=-85\] r = -85
