Question

Solve: -8r - (-2r-3) = 13 (if you can give a step by step, that would be great!)

Answer 1

Answer:

$r = - \frac{5}{3} = 1 \frac{2}{3} = - 1.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 8r - ( - 2r - 3) = 13$

$- 8r + 2r + 3 = 13$

$- 6r + 3 = 13$

$- 6r = 13 - 3$

$- 6r = 10$

$\boxed{\green{r = - \frac{5}{3} = 1 \frac{2}{3} = - 1.6}}$
