<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>
<span>To subtract 7 from 13 you use the fact that 13 is one ten plus three units, i.e. 13 = 10 + 3. then you can subtract 7 from 10 which is 3, and then add the 3 other 3 units to get 3 + 3 = 6. In this way, you have subtracted 7 from 13 using the fact that 13 is one ten plus 3 units.</span><span>

Find the common denominator for both unlike fractions.
EX: 1 2
12 8
The lowest common factor is both fractions is 24. Multiply both denominators to get 24.
Do not forget to multiply the numerators with the number you used to multiply the denominators together.
You do not have to multiply each side by the same number.
