Question

-(-6r + 8) − 6 = 6(r – 5)

Answer 1

Hi, there.

______

First off, distribute - through the parenthesis:

`\boldsymbol{-(-6r+8)=6r-8}`

Replace
`\boldsymbol{-(-6r+8)}` with
`\boldsymbol{6r-8}`:

`\boldsymbol{6r-8-6=6(r-5)}`

Combine like terms:

`\boldsymbol{6r-14=6(r-5)}`

Distribute 6 through the parenthesis:

`\boldsymbol{6(r-5)=6r-30}`

Make the replacement:

`\boldsymbol{6r-14=6r-30}`

Subtract 6r from both sides:

`\boldsymbol{6r-6r-14=6r-6r-30}`

`\boldsymbol{-14=30}`

Uh-oh!

Actually,

`\boldsymbol{-14\\eq-30}`

Answer:

`\boldsymbol{No \ solution}`

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying!!
