Question

What is the a nswer to 5(r-11)=2(r-4)-6

Answer 1

5 (r - 11) = 2 (r - 4) - 6   Use the Distributive Property on both sides
 5r - 55 = 2r - 8 - 6      Combine like terms (-8 and - 6)
 5r - 55 = 2r - 14          Subtract 2r from both sides
 3r - 55 = -14                Add 55 to both sides
        3r = 41                  Divide both sides by 3
          r = 14$\frac{2}{3}$
