Things are a bit cluttered. I'm assuming the equation should be (r-3)/10 = r/13.
Use parenthesis to indicate what is being divided. In this case all of "r-3" is over 10.
If my assumption above holds up, then we can solve for r like so (r-3)/10 = r/13 13(r-3) = 10r ... cross multiply 13r-39 = 10r 13r-39-13r = 10r-13r ... subtract 13r from both sides -39 = -3r -3r = -39 -3r/(-3) = -39/(-3) ... divide both sides by -3 r = 13
The value of r is r = 13
-----------------------
Check:
Replace every copy of "r" with "13" to get (r-3)/10 = r/13 (13-3)/10 = 13/13 10/10 = 13/13 1 = 1 ... equation is true; answer has been confirmed
