0.1\left(R+29\right)=R\times 12
Variable R cannot be equal to -29 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by R+29.
0.1R+2.9=R\times 12
Use the distributive property to multiply 0.1 by R+29.
0.1R+2.9-R\times 12=0
Subtract R\times 12 from both sides.
-11.9R+2.9=0
Combine 0.1R and -R\times 12 to get -11.9R.
-11.9R=-2.9
Subtract 2.9 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
R=\frac{-2.9}{-11.9}
Divide both sides by -11.9.
R=\frac{-29}{-119}
Expand \frac{-2.9}{-11.9} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
R=\frac{29}{119}
Fraction \frac{-29}{-119} can be simplified to \frac{29}{119} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
