Question 1

Question

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

r5−6=−1

Answer 1

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

1. Add 6 to both sides to isolate the term with the variable: \[ r^5 - 6 + 6 = -1 + 6 \] This simplifies to: \[ r^5 = 5 \]

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

So, the order of the steps is:

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