Question

Solve the equation. −2 1/4=r−4/5 will give brainiest for the first correct answer!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

r = -1 9/20

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 1/4 = r - 4/5

Switch sides:

r - 4/5 = -2 1/4

Add 4/5 to both sides.

r = -2 1/4 + 4/5

Change the mixed numeral into a fraction:

r = -9/4 + 4/5

The LCD is 20.

r = -45/20 + 16/20

r = -29/20

r = -1 9/20
