Solve for r. -2.6r ≤ -r + 8.48 Write your answer with r first, followed by an inequality symbol. ______

Isolate variable r: Isolate the variable r on one side of the inequality. -2.6r ≤ -r + 8.48 -2.6r + r ≤ 8.48 -1.6r ≤ 8.48 Divide by -1.6: Divide both sides by -1.6 to solve for r, remembering to flip the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number. -1.6r / -1.6 ≥ 8.48 / -1.6 r ≥ -5.3

Q. Solve for

r

\newline

-2.6r \leq -r + 8.48

\newline

Write your answer with

r

first, followed by an inequality symbol.

______

Isolate variable $r$ : Isolate the variable $r$ on one side of the inequality. $-2.6r \leq -r + 8.48$ $-2.6r + r \leq 8.48$ $-1.6r \leq 8.48$
Divide by $-1.6$ : Divide both sides by $-1.6$ to solve for $r$ , remembering to flip the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number. $\newline$ $-1.6r / -1.6 \geq 8.48 / -1.6$ $\newline$ $r \geq -5.3$
