In this equation R would equal 88 because it satisfies the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
You must solve for R by isolating the variable(which is R). To move the 1/8, multiply both sides by 8. You would do this because 8 is the reciprocal of 1/8. With R on it's own, to keep both sides equal multiply 11*8. That equals 88, which satisfies the equation, which is why 88 is the solution.
