Question

How do you solve `2r+36=6r -12`?

Answer 1

`r = 12`

Explanation:

In order to solve this equation, you must isolate all the terms with the same coefficient on one side.

[Solution]
`2r + 36 = 6r - 12`
`48 = 4r`
`r = 12`

[Checking]
`2(12) + 36 = 6(12) - 12`
`24 + 36 = 72 - 12`
`60 = 60`

Since both sides produced the same value, we know that our answer is correct
