Solving
-0.04 + 2r = 1.5r

Solving for variable 'r'.

Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.5r' to each side of the equation.
-0.04 + 2r + -1.5r = 1.5r + -1.5r

Combine like terms: 2r + -1.5r = 0.5r
-0.04 + 0.5r = 1.5r + -1.5r

Combine like terms: 1.5r + -1.5r = 0.0
-0.04 + 0.5r = 0.0

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.04 + 0.04 + 0.5r = 0.0 + 0.04

Combine like terms: -0.04 + 0.04 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.5r = 0.0 + 0.04
0.5r = 0.0 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0.0 + 0.04 = 0.04
0.5r = 0.04

Divide each side by '0.5'.
r = 0.08

Simplifying
r = 0.08
