STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given an equation with a missing term, which we need to find. . We are allowed to use basic algebraic operations to solve the equation.
3. The distributive property has already been applied to expand the left-hand side of the equation.

STEP 2

The given equation after applying the distributive property is18r+34=16r+618r +34 =16r +6

STEP 3

Subtract 16r16r from both sides to isolate the rr terms on one side and the constants on the other side.
18r16r+34=16r16r+618r -16r +34 =16r -16r +6

STEP 4

implify the equation.
2r+34=62r +34 =6

STEP 5

Subtract 3434 from both sides to isolate 2r2r on one side.
2r+3434=342r +34 -34 = -34

STEP 6

implify the equation.
2r=282r = -28This is the missing term in the third line of the equation.

STEP 7

Divide both sides by 22 to solve for rr.
r=282r = \frac{-28}{2}

STEP 8

implify the fraction to find the value of rr.
r=14r = -14This is the missing term in the last line of the equation.
So, the missing terms in the equation are 28-28 and 14-14 respectively.
