r=6b+6a
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by b+a.
6b+6a=r
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
6a=r-6b
Subtract 6b from both sides.
\frac{6a}{6}=\frac{r-6b}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
a=\frac{r-6b}{6}
Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.
a=\frac{r}{6}-b
Divide r-6b by 6.
r=6b+6a
