2\left(6r-7\right)=5r
Multiply both sides of the equation by 20, the least common multiple of 10,4.
12r-14=5r
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 6r-7.
12r-14-5r=0
Subtract 5r from both sides.
7r-14=0
Combine 12r and -5r to get 7r.
7r=14
Add 14 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
r=\frac{14}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
r=2
Divide 14 by 7 to get 2.
