Given the statement:

20r + 10 over 30r + 15

It can be written in numerical form as

(20r + 10) / (30r + 15)

Solution:

The numerator and denominator have factors that can be factored out. For (20r +10) , the equation is factorable by 10. For (30r  +15), the equation is factorable by 15.

= (20r + 10) / (30r + 15)

= 10(2r +1) /15 (2r +1)

2r + 1 can be cancelled leaving behind,

= 10/15

Final answer: 10/15
