Question

(r-3)

___= 14??

4

Answer 1

what you want to do is solve for r. to do this you want to isolate the variable (r). so to start you want to move the 4 to the right side by multiplying it by 14. (remember you always want to do the opposite operation than what is in the original equation). so your equation would look like: (r-3)=56. now to finally isolate r you want to add 3 to both sides (since it's being subtracted in the equation) to get: r=59. your final answer is r=59. i hope i was of some help and didn't confuse you too much! it's an easy concept once you get the hang of it. good luck with future math problems!  

Answer 2

r-3= 14*4

r-3=56

r=56+3=59

Answer 3

first cross multiply both sides of the equation to get

  r-3=14*4;

  r-3=56;

  r=56+3;

  r=59...ans
