Solve 3(r - 16) = -27 r

Evaluate

3 (r - 16) = - 27 r

Expand the expression

More Steps

3 r - 48 = - 27 r

Move the variable to the left side

3 r - 48 + 27 r = 0

Add the terms

More Steps

30 r - 48 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

30 r = 0 + 48

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

30 r = 48

Divide both sides

\frac{30 r}{30} = \frac{48}{30}

Divide the numbers

r = \frac{48}{30}

Solution

r = \frac{8}{5}

Alternative Form

r = 1.6
