Answer 1

Answer:

r = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

( r-5) /2 = ( r+2) /3

The least common denominator is 6

3/3 *( r-5) /2 = ( r+2) /3 * 2/2

3( r-5) /6 = 2( r+2) /6

Since the denominators are the same, the numerators are the same

3( r-5) = 2(r+2)

Distribute

3r -15 = 2r+4

Subtract 2r from each side

3r-2r -15 = 2r+4-2r

r-15 =4

Add 15 to each side

r-15+15 = 4+15

r = 19
