Step-by-step explanation:
1/2r -3= 3 (4-3/2r) is to be solved for r.
I'll begin by making the assumptions that by 1/2r you actually meant (1/2)r and that by 3/2r you actually meant (3/2)r. When in doubt, please use parentheses to make your meaning clear.
Thus, 1/2r -3= 3 (4-3/2r) becomes (1/2)r -3= 3 (4-(3/2)r ) .
Simplify this by multiplying all 3 terms by 2. Doing this will eliminate the fractions:
r -6 = 3 (4*2-(3)r ) or r - 6 = 24 - 9r
Now expand the right side, using the distributive property of
r - 3 = 24 - 9r
Regrouping so as to combine like terms:
10r = 30
Solving for r: r = 30/10 = 3
The value of r that satisfies this equation is 3
Okay. So 90 yds was cut from the 230 yd yarn. 230 - 90 = 140. 1/2 of 140 is 70. 230 - 70 = 160. The yellow yarn was 160 yds longer than the blue yarn at first.
She walked 7 miles. If it takes her one hour to walk four miles, then it will take 45 minutes to walk 3 miles.
