Question

Please do this for me I am very lazy

Answer 1

First, let's turn all the numbers into improper fractions so that we can find the answer easier.

-2 $\frac{1}{4}$ = r - $\frac{4}{5}$

-$\frac{9}{4}$ = r - $\frac{4}{5}$

Now we have to isolate 'r'.

First, we have to make sure that the variable is on one side and all the numbers are on the other side.

To do this, we have to add $\frac{4}{5}$ to both sides.

In order to do this, we need to ensure that both fractions have a common denominator.

-$\frac{9}{4}$ = r - $\frac{4}{5}$

Ensure that the denominators are the same:

$\frac{45}{20}$ = r - $\frac{16}{20}$

$\frac{45}{20}$ + $\frac{16}{20}$ = r

$\frac{61}{20}$ = r

Good luck!
