Answer:

r = 1

Explanation:

Use the distributive property to multiply −6 by −3+5r.

18−30r=−5−7r

Add 7r to both sides.

18−30r+7r=−5

Add −30r and 7r to get −23r.

18−23r=−5

Subtract 18 from both sides.

−23r=−5−18

Subtract 18 from −5 to get −23.

−23r=−23

Divide both sides by −23.

r=−23/−23​

Divide −23 by −23 to get 1.

r=1
