Answer 1

the second one

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is option 2.

Explanation:

First, you have to eliminate brackets, you have to divide -1.5 to both sides :

`- 1.5(4 - r) = - 12`

`- 1.5(4 - r) / - 1.5= - 12 / - 1.5`

`4 - r = 8`

Next you have to solve r :

`4 - r = 8`

`- r = 8 - 4`

`- r = 4`

`r = - 4`
