#r = 12#

Explanation:

In order to solve this equation, you must isolate all the terms with the same coefficient on one side.

[Solution]
#2r + 36 = 6r - 12#
#48 = 4r#
#r = 12#

[Checking]
#2(12) + 36 = 6(12) - 12#
#24 + 36 = 72 - 12#
#60 = 60#

Since both sides produced the same value, we know that our answer is correct
