r/5-3=2r/5+16

Please help me solve for r, I just can not seem to figure it out.
Answered by Reiny
I would multiply each term by 5 to get
r - 15 = 2r + 90

Now you have a very simple equation.
Can you take it from there?
Answered by Gaby
I think so...I got r=105
Answered by Reiny
Watch your sign.
Should have been r = -105
Answered by Gaby
Ok, thank you!
Answered by Reiny
how silly of me 5x16 is 80, not 90

the correct answer is -95
