Question

In the equation R + 14 = 39, what is the value of R? A. 25 B. 546 C. 24 D. 53

Answer 1

Inverse operations can be used to solve this.

39 - 14 = 25.

The value of R is 25.

Answer 2

You said                              R + 14  =  39

If I cleverly subtract 14
from each side of the
equation, it then says          R          =  39 - 14 

                                                         =  25 .
