Question

–8(–7r – 7) + 8 =-272​

Answer 1

Answer:

-8(-7r-7)+8=-272

We move all terms to the left:

-8(-7r-7)+8-(-272)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-8(-7r-7)+280=0

We multiply parentheses

56r+56+280=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

56r+336=0

We move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right

56r=-336

r=-336/56

r=-6
