<span>See examples for the method to solving literal equations for a given variable: Solve A = bh for b. Since h is multiplied times b, you must divide both sides by h in order to isolate b. Since (c+d) is divided by 2, you must first multiply both sides of the equation by 2</span>

Answer:
r = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
-4 = r/20 - 5
-4 + 5 = r/20 - 5 + 5
1 = r/20
1 * 20 = r/20 * 20
r = 20
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x−5)+4x−2=4
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(x−5)+4x−2=4
(3)(x)+(3)(−5)+4x+−2=4(Distribute)
3x+−15+4x+−2=4
(3x+4x)+(−15+−2)=4(Combine Like Terms)
7x+−17=4
7x−17=4
Step 2: Add 17 to both sides.
7x−17+17=4+17
7x=21
Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.
7x
7
=
21
7
x=3
Divide both sides by -3, and replace
with
. Then

Factorize the quadratic in
to get

which in turn means

But
for all real
, so we can ignore the first solution. This leaves us with

If we allow for any complex solution, then we can continue with the solution we ignored:
