Find r

0.5 (r+2.75) = 3

r = 3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for r:

0.5 (r + 2.75) = 3

Multiply both sides of 0.5 (r + 2.75) = 3 by 2:

2*0.5 (r + 2.75) = 2*3

2*0.5 = 1:

1 (r + 2.75) = 2*3

2*3 = 6:

1 (r + 2.75) = 6

Multiply both sides of 1 (r + 2.75) = 6 by 1:

1*1 (r + 2.75) = 1*6

1*1 = 1^2:

1^2 (r + 2.75) = 1*6

1^2 = 1:

1 (r + 2.75) = 1*6

1*6 = 6:

r + 2.75 = 6

Subtract 2.75' from both sides:

r + (2.75 - 2.75) = 6 - 2.75

2.75 - 2.75 = 0:

r = 6 - 2.75

6 - 2.75 = 3.25:

Answer: r = 3.25

r=3.25
