Answer:
r = 0 and r = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
|-4-r|=4
-4 = -4-r = 4
0 = - r = 8
0 = r = -8
When you have absolute value signs, to get rid of the absolute value signs and find the value of the term, you simply add another eqaul sign (=), and add a negative in front (- =). If it is already set to equal a negative, there isn't any solution.
|x| = 4
-4 = x = 4
So x would equal 4 and -4 for this example.
Another example:
|x|=-5
Because it's equal to a negative, the solution is automatically no solution.
The actual answer is r = 0 and r = -8
