How do you solve #12r - 25 = 4r + 7#? Algebra Linear Equations Equations with Variables on Both Sides 1 Answer George C. Jun 2, 2015 Given #12r-25=4r+7#, first add #25# to both sides to get: #12r=4r+32# Then subtract #4r# from both sides to get: #8r = 32# Then divide both sides by #8# to get: #r = 4# Answer link Related questions How do you check solutions to equations with variables on both sides?
