How do you solve #(r/3-3/8)/r=-3/4#? Algebra Rational Equations and Functions Clearing Denominators in Rational Equations 1 Answer Noah G Dec 15, 2016 #r = 9/26# Explanation: #((8r - 9)/24)/r = -3/4# #(8r - 9)/(24r) = -3/4# #4(8r - 9) = -3(24r)# #32r - 36 = -72r# #32r + 72r = 36# #104r = 36# #r = 36/104# #r= 9/26# Hopefully this helps!
