Question

Solve for the variables: (r/3) - 5 = 63

Answer 1

So solve for it... what do you think the first step is?

Answer 2

You're main goal to solve for the variable is to get r completely by itself.

Answer 3

Some of my answers are 22, 78, 174, 204

Answer 4

Multiply by 3 on both sides!
r - 15 = 189

Then add 15 to both sides
r = 189 + 15 = 204

Answer 5

Oooh -- got one!!

Answer 6

Thx judygreeneyes

Answer 7

Can u help me on this one solve x-1-(4x+3) < -19

Answer 8

Some of my answers are x< -5, x<7,x>-7,x<5

Answer 9

So do u know judygreeneyes

Answer 10

Here you go: Try to go back later and try to follow the steps, OK? It will help you on tests!

x-1-(4x + 3) < -19

Do the parentheses first, in this case apply the negative sign to each term inside:

x - 1 -4x - 3 < -19

Now combine the numbers and the x terms (simplify):

-3x - 4 < -19

Move the 4 to the right side by adding 4 to both sides:

-3x < -15

Now divide both sides by -3. When you do this (multiplying by a negative) in an inequality, you have to remember to switch the direction of the inequality:

x > 5

You can plug it back in to be sure it is true!! For example, if x>5, then use x = 6:
-3(6) < -16
-18<-15 true!!

Does this match any of your possible answers? If not, please check the question again, and I will re-check also.
