To solve this equation, you need to isolate the variable "r". Here are the steps you can follow to find the value of "r":

1. Start by grouping the terms with "r" on one side of the equation, and the constant terms on the other side. Let's subtract 2r from both sides:

7r - 2r - 7 = 2r - 2r + 18

Simplifying this equation gives you:

5r - 7 = 18

2. Next, isolate the term with "r" by moving the constant term (which is -7) to the other side of the equation. Let's add 7 to both sides:

5r - 7 + 7 = 18 + 7

Simplifying this equation gives you:

5r = 25

3. Now, to solve for "r", divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of "r", which is 5:

(5r)/5 = 25/5

Simplifying this equation gives you:

r = 5

Therefore, the correct answer is (b) r = 5.
