Hey there!
ASSUMING
2(3r + 4) - 3 (r + 1) = 11
IF SO
2(3r + 4) - 3 (r + 1) = 11
2(3r + 4) - 3 (1r + 1) = 11
DISTRIBUTE
2(3r) + 2(4) - 3(1r) - 1(1) = 11
6r + 8 - 3r - 1 = 11
COMBINE the LIKE TERMS
(6r - 3r) + (8 - 3) = 11
6r - 3r + 8 - 3 = 11
3r + 5 = 11
SUBTRACT 5 to BOTH SIDES
3r + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5
SIMPLIFY!
3r = 11 - 5
3r = 6
DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES
3r/3 = 6/3
SIMPLIFY!
r = 6/3
r = 2
Therefore, the answer should be: r = 2
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
