<h2>1.</h2>
Firstly, combine like terms: 
Next, subtract r on both sides of the equation: 
Next, add 8 onto both sides of the equation: 
Lastly, divide both sides by 6 and <em><u>your answer will be r = 3.</u></em>
<h2>2.</h2>
Firstly, multiply both sides by e: 
Lastly, divide both sides by 3, and <em><u>your answer will be
</u></em>
Answer:
in steps
Step-by-step explanation:
DE // BC
m∠ADE = m∠ABC and m∠AED = m∠ACB
∴ ΔADE similar to ΔABC
AB/AD = AC/AE
(AD + DB) / AD = (AE + EC) / AE
AD/AD + DB/AD = AE/AE + EC/AE
1 + DB/AD = 1 + EC/AE
DB/AD = EC/AE (AD/DB = AE/EC)
