-3%281%2B6r%29=14-r Start with the given equation.


-3-18r=14-r Distribute.


-18r=14-r%2B3 Add 3 to both sides.


-18r%2Br=14%2B3 Add r to both sides.


-17r=14%2B3 Combine like terms on the left side.


-17r=17 Combine like terms on the right side.


r=%2817%29%2F%28-17%29 Divide both sides by -17 to isolate r.


r=-1 Reduce.
