-3r+10=15r-8

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-3r + 10 = 15r - 8\), follow these steps:

  1. Start by moving all terms involving \(r\) to one side of the equation and constant terms to the other side. Add \(3r\) to both sides:

    \[ 10 = 15r + 3r - 8 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 10 = 18r - 8 \]

  2. Next, add \(8\) to both sides to isolate terms with \(r\):

    \[ 10 + 8 = 18r \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 18 = 18r \]

  3. Finally, divide both sides by \(18\) to solve for \(r\):

    \[ r = \frac{18}{18} = 1 \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ r = 1 \]
