r=01−84r4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−84r4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−84r4=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−84r4=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
84r4=1
Divide both sides
8484r4=841
Divide the numbers
r4=841
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
r=±4841
