Question

I need help on this show steps pleaseeee!!!

Answer 1

Step #1 - convert 1 ⅓ into a mixed number,

$\frac{1}{2}r - \frac{1}{3} - \frac{4}{3} = - \frac{7}{3}$

Step #2 - calculate the sum or difference of - ⅓ by -4/3,

$\frac{1}{2}r - \frac{5}{3} = - \frac{7}{3}$

Step #3 - Multiply both sides by 6,

$\frac{1}{2} (6)r - \frac{5}{3} (6) = - \frac{7}{3} (6)$

$3r - 10 = - 14$

Step #4 - Move constant ( - 10 ) to the right and change its sign,

$3r = - 14 + 10$

Step #5 - Calculate the sum

$3r = - 4$

Step #6 - Divide both sides by 3 so we can isolate the variable r,

$r = - \frac{4}{3}$
