Brooke solved the equation below:

6r = 72
6r – 6 = 72 – 6
r = 66

Is Brooke's solution correct? If the solution is incorrect, explain why it is incorrect and show the correct steps to solve the equation.

This is not correct because 6 x 66 is not 72 it is 396

To find the correct answer you must follow these steps.

6r = 72

6r ÷ 6 = 72 ÷ 6

r = 12

The real answer is 12. I know this because 12 x 6 is 72.
