To find r, we have to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by "undoing" the equation one step at a time.

4r - 8 = 5r + 12

4r - 8 - 4r = 5r + 12 - 4r

-8 = r + 12

-8 - 12 = r + 12 - 12

-20 = r

r = -20

Hope this helps!

Answer:

r= -20

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to solve this equation for the variable r, which means you need to get r alone on one side of the equation.

4r-8=5r+12

subtract 4r from both sides

-8=5r-4r+12

-8=1r+12

subtract 12 from both sides

-8-12=r

simplify

-20=r

Answer:

Choices C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

The most simplest way is just to solve each one and see which two have the same answer as the first expression.

But you could also see that both of the $\frac{4}{7}$ are going to cancel each other out so you are left with $-\frac{8}{9} +\frac{9}{8}$ which is also choice C.

For choice D I distributed the negative one to the insides of the parenthesis that left me with $-\frac{4}{7}-\frac{8}{9}+\frac{4}{7} +\frac{9}{8}$ which is the same expression as the first one.
