Answer 1

we are just going to start by using pemdas and making it easier to solve

Answer 2

r = 44

Explanation:

12 = r - (34 - 2)

Solve for r

___________

To solve, we need to isolate r.

Distribute the negative sign with the numbers within the parenthesis :

12 = r - 34 + 2

Add like terms :

12 = r - 32

Add 32 to both sides :

44 = r

r = 44
