Solve the equation. 8r-9=6r-11

Answer 1

Start with 8r - 9 = 6r - 11

Subtract 6r from both sides getting 2r - 9 = - 11

Add 9 to both sides getting 2r = - 2

Divide both sides by 2 getting the solution r = -1

Plug it back into original equation to check and you get - 17 = - 17

Answer 2

8r - 9 = 6r - 11

2r - 9 = -11

2r = -2

r = -1
