Answer:

r=9

Explanation:

Step 1: Flip the equation

r + 11 = 20

Step 2: Subtract 11 from both sides

r + 11 - 11 = 20 - 11

Answer: r = 9

Explanation:

Simplifying

20 = r + 11

Reorder the terms:

20 = 11 + r

Solving

20 = 11 + r

Solving for variable 'r'.

Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1r' to each side of the equation.

20 + -1r = 11 + r + -1r

Combine like terms: r + -1r = 0

20 + -1r = 11 + 0

20 + -1r = 11

Add '-20' to each side of the equation.

20 + -20 + -1r = 11 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0

0 + -1r = 11 + -20

-1r = 11 + -20

Combine like terms: 11 + -20 = -9

-1r = -9

Divide each side by '-1'.

r = 9

Simplifying

r = 9
