Q. Solve for rr.\newline3r=3|3r| = 3\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newliner=r = _____ or r=r = _____
  1. Understand absolute value equation: Understand the absolute value equation.\newlineThe equation 3r=3|3r| = 3 means that the absolute value of 33 times rr is equal to 33. The absolute value of a number is the distance of that number from 00 on the number line, which is always non-negative. Therefore, 3r3r can either be 33 or 3-3.
  2. Solve for positive 3r3r: Solve for rr when 3r3r is positive.\newlineIf 3r=33r = 3, then we divide both sides by 33 to isolate rr.\newliner=33r = \frac{3}{3}\newliner=1r = 1
  3. Solve for negative 3r3r: Solve for rr when 3r3r is negative.\newlineIf 3r=33r = -3, then we divide both sides by 33 to isolate rr.\newliner=3/3r = -3 / 3\newliner=1r = -1
