Question

R/3+2=21 solve for r

Answer 1

Answer:

r=63

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    r/3-(21)=0             r

Simplify   —

           3

r    

 — -  21  = 0

 3     2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  3  as the denominator :

         21     21 • 3

   21 =  ——  =  ——————

         1        3  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
