#r>=6#

Explanation:

First step is to distribute the bracket.

#rArr30+15r+7>=127#

#rArr15r+37>=127#

Isolate 15r by subtracting 37 from both sides of the inequality.

#15rcancel(+37)cancel(-37)>=127-37#

#rArr15r>=90#

To solve for r, divide both sides by 15

#(cancel(15) r)/cancel(15)>=90/15#

#rArrr>=6" is the solution"#
