Question

What is the answer to this equation 24r + 26 = -17

Answer 1

r = -43/24

Explanation:

First, we take our base equation :

24r + 26 = −17

Step 1: subtract 26 from both sides.

24r + 26 − 26 = −17 − 26

And we get

24r = −43

Step 2: divide both sides by 24.

24r/24 = -43/24

As such, your answer is -43/24
