Divide by 0.5: Which operation should be used to isolate the term containing r?In 0.5(r+2.75)=3, we should divide both sides by the coefficient of the term containing r, which is 0.5.Divide by 0.5
Simplify the equation: Perform the division to simplify the equation.0.5(r+2.75)/0.5=3/0.5r+2.75=6
Subtract 2.75: Which operation should be used to isolate r?In r+2.75=6, we should subtract 2.75 from both sides to isolate r.Subtract 2.75 from both sides.
Find the value of r: Perform the subtraction to find the value of r. r+2.75−2.75=6−2.75 r=3.25
