Question

The variable in the equation 26 = 1 - 3r is r.
Remembering the form ax + b = c, what are the values of the constants, a, b, and c in the equation?

a = ___
b = ___
c = ___

Answer 1

lets rearrange your equation to get it in the form ax + b = c

we want the variable r on left side so firstly we add 3r to both sides

26 = 1 - 3r
26 + 3r = 1 - 3r + 3r

Answer 2

3r + 26 = 1

Answer 3

comparing:-

ax + b = c
3r + 26 = 1

Answer 4

so a = 3

what are b and c equal to?

Answer 5

a = 3
b = 1
c = 26
Is that correct?

Answer 6

no b = 26 and c = 1

Answer 7

I won't go in on B

Answer 8

???

Answer 9

It's a = -3
b = 1
c = 26

Answer 10

But nice try tough

Answer 11

well really the 2 answers are correct because the equation can also be written as
-3r + 1 = 26
