Answer 1

Savannah Anderson

By arranging the equation

#7r + 7 = 6r - 6#

Gather the following terms on the left side and the numbers on the right:

#7r - 6r = -6 -7#

#r = -13#

Your answer is #r=-13#

To solve the equation 7r + 7 = 6r - 6, you first need to isolate the variable term (r) on one side of the equation. Subtract 6r from both sides to move all the terms involving r to one side: 7r - 6r + 7 = 6r - 6 - 6r. Simplify both sides to get: r + 7 = -6. Next, subtract 7 from both sides to isolate the variable term: r + 7 - 7 = -6 - 7. Simplify to get: r = -13. Therefore, the solution to the equation is r = -13.
