Correctly select the order of the steps to solve this equation.

Question

r/5−6=−1

Answer 1

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

1. Add 6 to both sides: This will isolate the term with \( r \) on one side. \[ \frac{r}{5} - 6 + 6 = -1 + 6 \] Simplifying gives: \[ \frac{r}{5} = 5 \]

2. Multiply both sides by 5: This eliminates the fraction. \[ 5 \cdot \frac{r}{5} = 5 \cdot 5 \] 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 \( r = 25 \).
