3+\left(r-3\right)\times 9=r\times 6
Variable r cannot be equal to 3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by r-3.
3+9r-27=r\times 6
Use the distributive property to multiply r-3 by 9.
-24+9r=r\times 6
Subtract 27 from 3 to get -24.
-24+9r-r\times 6=0
Subtract r\times 6 from both sides.
-24+3r=0
Combine 9r and -r\times 6 to get 3r.
3r=24
Add 24 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
r=\frac{24}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
r=8
Divide 24 by 3 to get 8.
