Answer

$23$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 4(x-3)-r+2x=5(3x-7)-9x$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow 4x-12-r+2x=15x-35-9x$ Add like terms. $\Rightarrow 6x-12-r=6x-35$ Add $-6x+12$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 6x-12-r-6x+12=6x-35-6x+12$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -r=-23$ $\Rightarrow r=23$ Hence, the value of $r$ is $23$.
