Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The variable r is a real number. . We are to solve for r using the addition and multiplication principles.

STEP 2

First, we need to simplify the equation by distributing the multiplication across the terms inside the brackets.
5[75(6r)]7=7[5(7r6)+4]505[7-5(6-r)]-7=7[5(7 r-6)+4]-50becomes5[730+5r]7=7[35r30+4]505[7-30+5r]-7=7[35r-30+4]-50

STEP 3

implify further by performing the operations inside the brackets.
5[23+5r]7=7[35r26]505[-23+5r]-7=7[35r-26]-50becomes115+25r7=245r18250-115+25r-7=245r-182-50

STEP 4

implify further by combining like terms on each side of the equation.
122+25r=245r232-122+25r=245r-232

STEP 5

Next, we use the addition principle to isolate the variable r on one side of the equation. We do this by subtracting25r from both sides of the equation.
122+25r25r=245r23225r-122+25r-25r=245r-232-25rwhich simplifies to122=220r232-122=220r-232

STEP 6

We then add232 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with r on one side.
122+232=220r232+232-122+232=220r-232+232which simplifies to110=220r110=220r

STEP 7

Finally, we use the multiplication principle to solve for r by dividing both sides of the equation by220.
110220=220r220\frac{110}{220}=\frac{220r}{220}which simplifies tor=12r=\frac{1}{2}

STEP 8

To check our solution, we substitute r =1/2 back into the original equation and simplify to see if both sides of the equation are equal.
5[75(612)]7=7[5(7×126)+4]505[7-5(6-\frac{1}{2})]-7=7[5(7 \times \frac{1}{2}-6)+4]-50which simplifies to5[75×112]7=7[5×7230+4]505[7-5 \times \frac{11}{2}]-7=7[5 \times \frac{7}{2}-30+4]-50which simplifies further to5[32]7=7[7226]505[-\frac{3}{2}]-7=7[\frac{7}{2}-26]-50which simplifies to1527=63250-\frac{15}{2}-7=-\frac{63}{2}-50which simplifies to292=1132-\frac{29}{2}=-\frac{113}{2}Since both sides of the equation are not equal, there is no solution for the given equation.
So the correct choice is C. There is no solution.
