How do I solve for -31 -8r = -3(5r -6)

Our current equation is:
-8r -31 = -3(5r -6)
To solve for this, we need to get r on one side of the equation and then simplify if needed.
On the right side of the equation, we have a pending Distributive Property, which is when you multiply the number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all numbers/variables in the parenthesis.
Let's simplify this Distributive Property to help understand our equation better.
-3(5r -6)
Multiply -3 by each number/variable separately (unless they are already being multiplied, like 2x, 1/2x, etc).
-3(5r) + -3(-6).
-3(5r) = -15r
-3(-6) = 18 (both negatives need to be in parenthesis to keep a product as negative, and if you do not multiply them in that way, you will end up with a positive product).
Your equation now is:
-8r -31 = -15r + 18
Add 15r to both sides to get r on one side.
7r -31 = 18 is now our current equation.
Add 31 to both sides to get 7r by itself.
7r = 49 is now our equation.
r is still being multiplied by 7, so we need to do the opposite of multiplying by 7.
Divide both sides by 7.
r = 7.
I hope this helps!

Temperature at 9:00PM was 15° By 5 AM the temperature had dropped 20° what was the temperature at 5 PM
Arisa [49]
From 9 P.M. to 5 A.M. the temperature dropped 20°, making the rate over 8 hours, -2.5° Per Hour. By 5 A.M., the temperature is -5° since we had to do 15 - 20. From 5 AM to 5 P.M. is 12 hours so -2.5 x 12 = -30 making 30 how much the temperature dropped between 5 A.M. to 5 P.M. Finally, our last equation is -5 - 30 making -35 our answer.

What is the slope of the line represented by the table below?
gayaneshka [121]
9/5

If you choose two points you can find the equation change in y/change in x (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Using the first two points this looks like:

(49-22)/(25-10)=27/15=9/5
