Question

I am working on multi step equations and need help understanding how to do it 6R - 1 + 6r= 11

Answer 1

6r - 1 + 6r = 11

 

Add 1 to both sides:

 

6r + 6r = 12

 

Combine like terms:

 

12r = 12

 

Divide both sides by 12:

 

r = 1

 

Check:

6r - 1 + 6r = 11

Plug in r = 1:

6*(1) - 1 + 6*(1) = 11

6 - 1 + 6 = 11

5 + 6 = 11

11 = 11
