4+3+r\left(2\times 4+1\right)=16r
Variable r cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4r, the least common multiple of r,4r,4.
7+r\left(2\times 4+1\right)=16r
Add 4 and 3 to get 7.
7+r\left(8+1\right)=16r
Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.
7+r\times 9=16r
Add 8 and 1 to get 9.
7+r\times 9-16r=0
Subtract 16r from both sides.
7-7r=0
Combine r\times 9 and -16r to get -7r.
-7r=-7
Subtract 7 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
r=\frac{-7}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
r=1
Divide -7 by -7 to get 1.
