r5−6=−1

1 answer

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

  1. Add 6 to both sides to isolate the term with \( r \).
    \( r^5 - 6 + 6 = -1 + 6 \)
    \( r^5 = 5 \)

  2. Take the fifth root of both sides to solve for \( r \).
    \( r = \sqrt[5]{5} \)

So the correct order of steps to solve the equation \( r^5 - 6 = -1 \) is:

  1. Add 6 to both sides.
  2. Take the fifth root of both sides.
