Question

9 = -3/8r solve for r

Answer 1

-8

Explanation:

To solve for r in the equation:

9 = (-3/8)r

You can isolate r by dividing both sides of the equation by (-3/8) to solve for r:

(9) / (-3/8) = r

To simplify this, remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:

(9) * (-8/3) = r

Now, calculate:

r = -24/3

r = -8

So, the solution to the equation is r = -8.

Answer 2

r = - 24

Explanation:

given the equation

9 = -
`(3)/(8)` r ( multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fraction )

8 × 9 = 8 × -
`(3)/(8)` r ( simplify both sides )

72 = - 3r ( divide both sides by - 3 )

`(72)/(-3)` =
`(-3)/(-3)` r , that is

- 24 = r
