5\left(5r-10\right)=20
Multiply both sides of the equation by 25, the least common multiple of 5,25.
25r-50=20
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 5r-10.
25r=20+50

Add 20 and 50 to get 70.
r=\frac{70}{25}
Divide both sides by 25.
r=\frac{14}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{70}{25} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
