Given the equation:

r/s + a = 2b

Solve for r.

Solution:

In order to sovle for r, we simply needed to multiply s to both sides of the equation, to cancel out r/s.

r/s + a = 2b

(s)(r/s + a) = (s)(2b)

r + as = 2sb

Transpose a to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes

r = 2sb - as

Final answer:

r = 2sb - as
