$r = 504$

$(r-10)/19 = 26$

To solve for the variable $r$ , we have to make it by itself. To do so, first multiply both sides by $color(blue)19$ :

$(r-10)/19 quadcolor(blue)(*quad19) = 26 quadcolor(blue)(*quad19)$

$r - 10 = 494$

Now add $color(blue)10$ to both sides:
$r - 10 quadcolor(blue)(+quad10) = 494 quadcolor(blue)(+quad10)$

Therefore,
$r = 504$

Hope this helps!
