Question

What is -3(6r + 1) = 14-r
Equal??

Answer 1

-3(6r + 1) = 14 - r; -3×6r= -18r; -3×1= -3; -18r - 3 = 14 - r; -r + 18r= 17r;
17r - 3 = 14; 14+3= 17; 17r = 17; 17 ÷ 17= 1; r = 1
The answer is r = 1.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

you first have to do distributive property to get -18r-1=14-r, now get teh smallest r to the other side, in this case add 1r to both sides to get -17r=14, now add 3 to both sides to get -17r=17, now divide by -17 to leave r by itslef and get teh answer of r=-1

Hope this helps
