r+4r-20=2r+7
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by r-5.
5r-20=2r+7
Combine r and 4r to get 5r.
5r-20-2r=7
Subtract 2r from both sides.
3r-20=7
Combine 5r and -2r to get 3r.
3r=7+20
Add 20 to both sides.
3r=27
Add 7 and 20 to get 27.
r=\frac{27}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
r=9
Divide 27 by 3 to get 9.
