Hello!

Answer 2

Hi :) Can You Please Help?

Answer 3

Sure

Answer 4

Thank You. :) So How Do I Solve It?

Answer 5

Hold on! I will solve it and then show you!

Answer 6

First, you should simplify both sides of the equation. Do you know how?

Answer 7

No

Answer 8

Well, let's simplify the right side of the equation first. In order to simplify the fraction 5 2/3, you multiply 5 by 3 and add 2: 5 x 3 + 2, so you get 17/3. Understand?

Answer 9

Yes! :)

Answer 10

Good! So now we have: r/6 = 17/3
Our aim is to get the variable by itself, all alone, on one side. So let's get rid of 6 by multiplying 6 on both sides. Can you do that?

Answer 11

Do I Multiply 6 x 5?

Answer 12

No, you just have to multiply 6 on both sides of the equation like this: r/6 (6) = 17/3 (6)

Answer 13

So 6 x 6?

Answer 14

The left side should be easy, it is the main reason you are multiplying the equation by 6 since you want to get rid of it so you can get r alone. So the left side becomes r. To solve the right side, you just have to multiply 17/3 by 6: 17/3 x 6

Answer 15

Do you know how you got rid of 6 on the left side?

Answer 16

No

Answer 17

17/3 x 6 Would Be 34 So Would It Be A?

Answer 18

Yes, that's correct! Your final answer is r = 34. You were able to get rid of 6 on the left side because it was division: r/6. Multiplication cancels out division, like negatives and positives.

Thank You So Much!
