1 answer

To solve the equation r56=1, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add 6 to both sides: This will isolate the term with r on one side. r56+6=1+6 Simplifying gives: r5=5

  2. Multiply both sides by 5: This eliminates the fraction. 5r5=55 Which simplifies to: 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.
