Question

Error Analysis The solution shown for the equation is

incorrect. What is the correct solution? What is the error?
- 6(3-r) = 24
- 18 - 6 = 24
- r = 42
r = -7
The solution is ________

Answer 1

The correct solution to the equation -6(3-r)=24 is r=-7. The error in the shown solution is not matching the correct solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct solution to the equation - 6(3-r) = 24 is r = -7. However, it appears that there was an error in the solution shown because it does not match the correct solution. Let's go through the steps to find the correct solution:

1. Distribute the -6 through the parentheses: -6*3 - (-6*r) = 24
2. Simplify: -18 + 6r = 24
3. Add 18 to both sides to isolate the variable: 6r = 42
4. Divide both sides by 6 to solve for r: r = -7

Therefore, the correct solution is r = -7.
