Answer 14

TELL ME THE DANG ANSWER

Answer 15

No. I'm not going to tell you the answer, because then you won't learn how to do this basic manipulation of variables, and then you won't be able to learn the next thing, because it will build on this.

Answer 16

Just like you can't do this yet because you apparently didn't learn the previous thing of how to add two numbers together. -2+3 equals what? -2r+3r equals what? You must be able to do this yourself.

Answer 17

this is an equation

Answer 18

-2 plus 3 is negative 5

Answer 19

No, -2 plus 3 is not negative 5.

Answer 20

\[-(2+3)=-5\\
-2+3\ne-5
\]

Answer 21

yes because 2 plus 3 is five and a negative plus a positive is a negative

Answer 22

A negative plus a positive is not always a negative. A negative times a positive is always a negative, but a negative plus a positive is not.

Answer 23

If you have a negative plus a positive, -a+b, you can rewrite that as b-a. Negative two plus three is the same as three minus two.

Answer 34

Okay. What is 2r-r?

Answer 35

Answer 37

Right. So you have -2r+3r, which is the same as 3r-2r. So, what is 3r-2r?

Answer 38

1r

Answer 39

Answer 40

Yes. There you go, you have combined like terms. Congratulations :)
So now you have 46+r=53. Subtract 46 from both sides and you're done.

No, the answer is not 99.
