Solve the inequality:

\[ 13 - r < 82 \]

A. \[ r > -69 \]

B. \[ r < 69 \]

C. \[ r > 95 \]

D. \[ -r > 69 \]

E. \[ r > 69 \]

Answer :

To solve the inequality

[tex]$$
13 - r < 82,
$$[/tex]

follow these steps:

1. Subtract 13 from both sides:
Subtracting 13 gives

[tex]$$
13 - r - 13 < 82 - 13,
$$[/tex]

which simplifies to

[tex]$$
-r < 69.
$$[/tex]

2. Multiply both sides by -1:
When multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign reverses. Multiplying by -1, we get

[tex]$$
r > -69.
$$[/tex]

Thus, the solution to the inequality is

[tex]$$
r > -69.
$$[/tex]

Comparing with the given options, the correct answer is option A.
