Correct Answer: D

Rationale

Choice D is correct. Subtracting $t$ from both sides of the given equation yields $6 r - t = 7 s$ . Dividing both sides of this equation by $7$ yields $\frac{6 r - t}{7} = s$ . Therefore, the equation $s = \frac{6 r - t}{7}$ correctly expresses $s$ in terms of $r$ and $t$ .

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
