Hey there!


ASSUMING

2(3r + 4) - 3 (r + 1) = 11

IF SO

2(3r + 4) - 3 (r + 1) = 11

2(3r + 4) - 3 (1r + 1) = 11

DISTRIBUTE

2(3r) + 2(4) - 3(1r) - 1(1) = 11

6r + 8 - 3r - 1 = 11

COMBINE the LIKE TERMS

(6r - 3r) + (8 - 3) = 11

6r - 3r + 8 - 3 = 11

3r + 5 = 11


SUBTRACT 5 to BOTH SIDES

3r + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5

SIMPLIFY!

3r = 11 - 5

3r = 6

DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES
3r/3 = 6/3


SIMPLIFY!

r = 6/3

r = 2


Therefore, the answer should be: r = 2


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
