Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in all missing terms and select all missing descriptions. simplify any fractions. -4(r - 11) = -8; r - 11 = \boxed{}; r = \boxed{}

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -4

To isolate \( r - 11 \), we divide both sides of the equation \(-4(r - 11)=-8\) by \(-4\). So, \(\frac{-4(r - 11)}{-4}=\frac{-8}{-4}\), which simplifies to \( r - 11 = 2 \). The description for this step is "Divide both sides by -4".

Step2: Add 11 to both sides

To solve for \( r \), we add 11 to both sides of the equation \( r - 11 = 2 \). So, \( r - 11 + 11 = 2 + 11 \), which simplifies to \( r = 13 \). The description for this step is "Add 11 to both sides".

Answer:

For the first missing term: \( 2 \), description: "Divide both sides by -4"
For the second missing term: \( 13 \), description: "Add 11 to both sides"
