Answer :
7r + 12
2(3r + 7) - (2 + r)
1. Distribute
6r + 14 - 2 + r
2. Collect like terms
7r + 12
3. This is the answer if you’re just simplifying but to solve for r you would subtract 12 then divide both sides by 7:
r = 12/7
2(3r + 7) - (2 + r)
1. Distribute
6r + 14 - 2 + r
2. Collect like terms
7r + 12
3. This is the answer if you’re just simplifying but to solve for r you would subtract 12 then divide both sides by 7:
r = 12/7
