Answer:


\bf r=0

Explanation:


\bf -2r+15=-3\left(-2r-7\right)-6

Expand: *-3(-2r-7)-6 = 6r+15* :-


\bf -2r+15=6r+15

Subtract 6r from both sides:-


\bf -2r+15-6r=6r+15-6r


\bf -8r+15=15

Subtract 15 from both sides:-


\bf -8r+15-15=15-15


\bf -8r=0

Divide both sides by -8:-


\bf \cfrac{-8r}{-8}=\cfrac{0}{-8}


\bf r=0
