Question

-3(1+6r)=14-r


in class need help

Answer 1

r = -1

Explanation:

-3(1+6r)=14-r

Distribute the -3

-3*1 -3*6r = 14-r

-3 -18r = 14 -r

Add 18r to each side

-3-18r+18r = 14-r+18r

-3 = 14+17r

Subtract 14 from each side

-3-14 = 14+17t-14

-17 = 17r

Divide by 17

-17/17 = -17r/-17

-1 =r
