#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!
