Solve the equation. 0.25r−0.125+0.5r=0.5+r
show steps
To solve the equation 0.25r - 0.125 + 0.5r = 0.5 + r, we can first combine like terms on both sides of the equation:
0.25r + 0.5r - r = 0.5 + 0.125
0.75r - r = 0.625
Next, we combine like terms:
0.75r - r = 0.625
(0.75 - 1)r = 0.625
-0.25r = 0.625
To isolate r, we can divide both sides of the equation by -0.25:
-0.25r / -0.25 = 0.625 / -0.25
r = -2.5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is r = -2.5.
