Answer:
r > -178
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the equations means to find what "r" can be for the equation to be true.
If the sign < confuses you, you can always write = then change it back.
<u>To find "r", we need to isolate it</u>. To do this, we move "r" to the left side, and every other number to the right side. When you move something to the other side, remember you need to <u>do the reverse operation on both sides</u>.
I want to move -195 first. The opposite is +195.
-17 < -195 - r
-17 + 195< -195 + 195- r Add 195 to both sides. 195 cancels out on the right
-17 + 195 < -r Simplify left right by add 195 to -17
178 < -r The opposite of multiply by -1 is divide by -1.
178/-1 < -r/-1 Divide both sides by -1.
178/-1 < r "r" is isolated now. Simplify left side
-178 < r Answer is found. Put variable on left side. Remember the keep the open side of the symbol facing "r".
r > -178 The solution is when "r" is greater than -178.
