Use the properties of equalities to solve the equation and find the value of R.


(R)/(5)+37=88

First, subtract 37 from both members of the equation:


\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow(R)/(5)+37-37=88-37 \\ \\ \Rightarrow(R)/(5)=51 \end{gathered}

Next, multiply both members of the equation by 5 to get rid of the denominator on the left member:


\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow5*(R)/(5)=5*51 \\ \\ \Rightarrow R=255 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of R is 255.
