Question

Solve for r.
0.5(r +2.75) = 3

Answer 1

Answer:

r = 3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by eliminating the decimal fraction 0.5:  2(0.5)(r + 2.75) = 2(3) = 6

Then we have r + 2.75 = 6.

Isolate r by  subtracting 2.75 from both sides.  This leaves us with

r = 6 - 2.75 = 3.25.

r = 3.25
