Solution for 8(r-3)-7(r-1)=2(r+7) equation:


Simplifying
8(r + -3) + -7(r + -1) = 2(r + 7)

Reorder the terms:
8(-3 + r) + -7(r + -1) = 2(r + 7)
(-3 * 8 + r * 8) + -7(r + -1) = 2(r + 7)
(-24 + 8r) + -7(r + -1) = 2(r + 7)

Reorder the terms:
-24 + 8r + -7(-1 + r) = 2(r + 7)
-24 + 8r + (-1 * -7 + r * -7) = 2(r + 7)
-24 + 8r + (7 + -7r) = 2(r + 7)

Reorder the terms:
-24 + 7 + 8r + -7r = 2(r + 7)

Combine like terms: -24 + 7 = -17
-17 + 8r + -7r = 2(r + 7)
