Answer 1

r = -31

Explanation:

The picture is how I solved it.

Answer 2

Answer: r=-31

Explanation:

To find r, we want to use algebraic properties to isolate r.

6(r-4)-5(r-1)=2(r+6) [distribute]

6r-24-5r+5=2r+12 [combine like terms]

r-19=2r+12 [subtract both sides by 2r]

-r-19=12 [add both sides by 19]

-r=31 [divide both sides by -1]

r=-31

Now, we know that r=-31.
