Question

correctly select the order of the steps to solve this equation

-5x + 2 = 67

Answer 1

correctly select the order of the steps to solve this equation

r/5 - 6 = -1

Answer 2

To solve the equation \(-5x + 2 = 67\), you can follow these steps in order:

1. **Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation** to isolate the term with \(x\):
\[
-5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2
\]
Simplifying this gives:
\[
-5x = 65
\]

2. **Divide both sides by -5** to solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{65}{-5}
\]
Simplifying this gives:
\[
x = -13
\]

So, the correct order of steps is:
1. Subtract 2 from both sides.
2. Divide by -5.

The final solution is \(x = -13\).

Answer 3

To solve the equation \(\frac{r}{5} - 6 = -1\), you can follow these steps in order:

1. **Add 6 to both sides of the equation** to isolate the term with \(r\):
\[
\frac{r}{5} - 6 + 6 = -1 + 6
\]
Simplifying this gives:
\[
\frac{r}{5} = 5
\]

2. **Multiply both sides by 5** to solve for \(r\):
\[
r = 5 \times 5
\]
Simplifying this gives:
\[
r = 25
\]

So, the correct order of steps is:
1. Add 6 to both sides.
2. Multiply both sides by 5.

The final solution is \(r = 25\).
