Answer 2

Answer: r=-31

Step-by-step 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.
