Well, if we use the Associative Property, we can switch around the positions of the 11, which is out of the parentheses. So, what we do is we put 11 and 3 into parentheses and r out of the parentheses, which makes:

r + (11 + 3)

So, now we solve the parentheses:

r + (14)

And finally, remove the parentheses. So, therefore, the answer is r + 14.
