The answer would be 420 this isn’t actually the answer i just need points sorry bruh
Your answer would be 15.6
<span>38 - 7r = 3(6 - 4r)
38 - 7r = 18 - 12r
-7r + 12r = 18 - 38
5r = -20
r = -4</span>
Instead of using PEMDAS or the Order of Operations, the student went ahead and solved the equation as though it were written 6 * 12 - 8.
The correct way to solve would be to first solve the parentheses. 12 - 8 is equal to 4. 4 times 6 is 24, giving us an answer of 24.
