6-3r=17
Subtract 6 from both sides of above equation
6-3r-6=17-6
cross%286%29-3r-cross%286%29=17-6
-3r=11
Divide by -3 both sides of above equation
-3r%2F-3=11%2F-3
cross%28-3%29r%2Fcross%28-3%29=11%2F-3
r=11%2F-3
r=-%283%262%2F3%29

6-3r=17
Put r=-11%2F3
6-3%28-11%2F3%29=17
6%2B%28%283%29%2811%29%29%2F3=17
