Solve the equation.
0.25r−0.125+0.5r=0.5+r
0.25r - 0.125 + 0.5r = 0.5 + r
Combining like terms, we have:
0.75r - 0.125 = 0.5 + r
To simplify further, let's move all terms involving r to one side of the equation and all constant terms to the other side:
0.75r - r = 0.5 + 0.125
Combining like terms again, we have:
-0.25r = 0.625
Now, let's solve for r by dividing both sides of the equation by -0.25:
r = 0.625 / -0.25
Simplifying the right side:
r = -2.5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is r = -2.5.
