Question
Solve the equation
r1=−54,r2=2
Alternative Form
r1=−0.8,r2=2
Evaluate
3∣3−5r∣−3=18
Move the expression to the left side
3∣3−5r∣−3−18=0
Subtract the numbers
3∣3−5r∣−21=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
3(3−5r)−21=0,3−5r≥03(−(3−5r))−21=0,3−5r<0

Evaluate
3(3−5r)−21
Expand the expression
9−15r−21
Subtract the numbers
−12−15r
−12−15r=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−15r=0+12
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−15r=12
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
15r=−12
Divide both sides
