Step 1 :Subtract 3 from each side of the equation to get \(12r = 15 - 3\).
Step 2 :Simplify the right side of the equation to get \(12r = 12\).
Step 3 :Divide each side of the equation by 12 to solve for r, \(r = \frac{12}{12}\).
Step 4 :Simplify the right side of the equation to get \(r = 1\).
Step 5 :So, the solution is \(\boxed{1}\).
