Question

Solve each equation.check your solution 8+ 5r=-27

Answer 1

Start with

`8+ 5r=-27`

Subtract 8 from both sides:

`5r = -27-8 = -35`

Divide both sides by 5:

`r = -7`

Let's check the solution, plugging
`r=7` into the equation:

`8+5r=-27 \iff 8+5\cdot(-7)=-27 \iff 8-35 = -27`

which is true.
