Question

Solve for variable: 2(r-3)/4 -8 =50

Answer 1

Hello!

Let's begin by multiplying all 3 terms by 4, to remove the fraction:

2(r-3) - 8(4) = 50(4)

Then 2r - 6 - 32 = 200. Consolidating the constants on the right side, we get:

2r = 162. Solving for r, we divide both sides by 2, obtaining r = 81 (answer)

Answer 2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a equation:

$\dfrac{2(r-3)}{4}-8=50$

adding 8 on both sides, we get

$\dfrac{2(r-3)}{4}=58$

Multiplying both sides by 4, we get

$2(r-3)=58\times 4$

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

$(r-3)=58\times 2$

or r-3= 116

adding 3 on both sides, we get

r=119

Hence, Value of r is:

119
