First, let's turn all the numbers into improper fractions so that we can find the answer easier.
-2 = r -
- = r -
Now we have to isolate 'r'.
First, we have to make sure that the variable is on one side and all the numbers are on the other side.
To do this, we have to add to both sides.
In order to do this, we need to ensure that both fractions have a common denominator.
- = r -
Ensure that the denominators are the same:
= r -
+
= r
= r
Good luck!
Concept: Solution of the given attachment is based on the addition of two vectors as given below.
Consider two vectors P and Q, then resultant of these two vectors is given as,
R = P + Q
To find the addition of G & H vectors. That is G + H =?
In the given figure;
Vector A = - Vector G because both are in opposite directions -----(i)
From the figure,
A + H = F --------------- using the given concept ---------(ii)
Now, shall replace the value of A from equation (i) in equation(ii)
- G + H = F
or, G + (- H) = - F
Since the vector addition of G & H is not equal to F.
Hence, the given statement G + H = F is False.
