Let's solve the equation step by step and fill in the missing terms and descriptions.

Starting with the original equation:

\[ 10(r + 1) = 20 \]

  1. Divide both sides by 10 to isolate the expression in parentheses:

    \[ r + 1 = \frac{20}{10} \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ r + 1 = 2 \]

  2. Now, we need to solve for \( r \). Subtract 1 from both sides:

    \[ r = 2 - 1 \]

    Which simplifies to:

    \[ r = 1 \]

So, the completed steps are:

  • 10(r+1) = 20
  • Divide both sides by 10
  • r + 1 = 2
  • Subtract 1 from both sides
  • r = 1

The missing term is \( r = 1 \) and the missing description for that step is "Subtract 1 from both sides."
