Answer:

r+20=66

Explanation:

If r represents Rick's height and the equation requires that you add 20, the equation would look like this: r+20

Then, since the sentence tells you that the answer to r+20 is 66, you'd just add that on at the end, so it'd look like r+20=66

Sorry if this explanation is confusing, I'm not great at explaining math.
