5r=-1

r= -0.2

Thats what I got based on PEMDAS...

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {r = -\frac{1}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $r$:

$5(r - 10) = -51$

-Use Distributive Property:

$5(r - 10) = -51$

$5r - 50 = -51$

-Add $50$ on both sides:

$5r - 50 + 50 = -51 +50$

$5r = -1$

-Take $5$ and divide it on both sides:

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

$\boxed {r = -\frac{1}{5}}$

Therefore, the value of $r$ is $-\frac{1}{5}$.
