What is the value of r in the equation 2(2r + 8) = 3r + 16?

Simplify is your first step.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply 2 * 2r and 2*8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You get 4r + 16. Right?

4r + 16 = 3r + 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now subtract the 3r from the right side. 1r + 16 = 16. Subtract 16 1r = 0. divide r=0 there is your answer! understand?
