r%2B5=2%285r-3%29 Start with the given equation.


r%2B5=10r-6 Distribute.


r=10r-6-5 Subtract 5 from both sides.


r-10r=-6-5 Subtract 10r from both sides.


-9r=-6-5 Combine like terms on the left side.


-9r=-11 Combine like terms on the right side.


r=%28-11%29%2F%28-9%29 Divide both sides by -9 to isolate r.


r=11%2F9 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is r=11%2F9
