1 answer

To solve for r, we need to isolate r on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation:

r/3 - 8 = -25

We can first add 8 to both sides:

r/3 = -25 + 8

Simplifying the right side:

r/3 = -17

To isolate r, we can multiply both sides by 3:

3 * (r/3) = 3 * (-17)

Simplifying both sides:

r = -51
