Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the given equation, first, isolate the variable \( r \) by moving all terms involving \( r \) to one side and constant terms to the other side. Then, solve for \( r \) by performing basic arithmetic operations. Finally, express the solution in interval notation and graph it.
To solve the given inequality, we need to follow the steps outlined in the problem. Let's go through the solution step by step.
Step 1: Set Up the Inequality
The given equation is:
\[
6r + 1 = 2r - 23
\]
Step 2: Move Variable Terms to One Side
Subtract \(2r\) from both sides to get all terms with the variable on one side:
\[
6r + 1 - 2r = 2r - 23 - 2r
\]
Simplifying, we have:
\[
4r + 1 = -23
\]
Step 3: Isolate the Variable
Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable:
\[
4r + 1 - 1 = -23 - 1
\]
Simplifying, we have:
\[
4r = -24
\]
Step 4: Solve for the Variable
Divide both sides by 4 to solve for \(r\):
\[
r = \frac{-24}{4}
\]
Simplifying, we have:
\[
r = -6
\]
Final Answer
The solution to the equation is:
\[
\boxed{r = -6}
\]
Since the original problem was an equation rather than an inequality, there is no interval notation or graph required. The solution is simply \(r = -6\).
