Question

−17=
3
2
​
r

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-17 = \frac{3}{2} r\), you can isolate \(r\) by following these steps:

1. Multiply both sides of the equation by \(\frac{2}{3}\) to eliminate the fraction:

\[
r = -17 \cdot \frac{2}{3}
\]

2. Calculate the right side:

\[
r = -\frac{34}{3}
\]

So, the solution is:

\[
r = -\frac{34}{3}
\]

You can also express it as a decimal:

\[
r \approx -11.33
\]
