Answer:

The answer is (q-16)/6 = r

Explanation:

The question asks us to isolate the variable r. The best way to do this is to make sure everything is pre-expanded:

q - 10 = 6r + 6

I expanded 6 to r+1, making 6r + 6. The next step is to combine like terms. Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.

q - 16 = 6r

By subtracting 6 from both sides, I get rid of 6 on the right side of the equation and subtract 6 from -10 on the left side of the equation, giving me -16. My next step is to divide both sides by 6 to isolate or individualize the variable r.

(q - 16)/6 = r

After dividing by 6, I have isolated r. I've found my answer

Hope this helped.

Solving for r to make r the independent variable:

q - 1 = 6(r + 1)

q - 1 = 6r + 6

q - 7 = 6r

r = q/6 - 7/6

Hope this helps!! :)
