4 x 3 + 5 x r = 48

1 answer

To solve the equation \(4 \times 3 + 5 \times r = 48\), follow these steps:

  1. Calculate \(4 \times 3\): \[ 4 \times 3 = 12 \]

  2. Substitute this value back into the equation: \[ 12 + 5r = 48 \]

  3. Next, isolate the term with \(r\) by subtracting 12 from both sides: \[ 5r = 48 - 12 \] \[ 5r = 36 \]

  4. Finally, divide both sides by 5 to solve for \(r\): \[ r = \frac{36}{5} \] \[ r = 7.2 \]

Thus, the value of \(r\) is \(7.2\).
