6r+5=11r\ \ \ \ |\text{subtract 6r from both sides}\\\\5=5r\ \ \ \ |\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\boxed{r=1}\\-------------------------\\(2x-4)/(2)=6x+3\\\\(2x)/(2)-(4)/(2)=6x+3\\\\x-2=6x+3\ \ \ \ \ |\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\x=6x+5\ \ \ \ |\text{subtract 6x from both sides}\\\\-5x=5\ \ \ \ \ |\text{divide both sides by -5}\\\\\boxed{x=-1}
