Question

Solve 5r2 – 12 = 68. {±4} {±5} {±3} {±6}

Answer 1

Hey there!

Assuming you meant

$5r^2 - 12 = 68$

If so, follow these steps so it can be a little bit easier to solve

Firstly, we have to $add$ by $12$ on each of your sides

$5r^2 -12 +12 \\ \\ 68 + 12$

$5r^2 = 5r^2 \\ \\ 68 + 12 = 80$

We get: $5r^2 =80$

Now, we have $divide$ by $5$ on each of your sides

$\frac{5r^2}{5} = \frac{80}{5}$

$\frac{80}{5} = 16$

We get: $r^2 = 16$

$r =$ ± $\sqrt{16}$

Therefore , your answer is:$r =$ ±$4$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
