Answer:

r = 46

Explanation:

To solve the equation, solve for r by isolating the variable. Whatever you do to one side, do to the other.

1) First, simplify the right side by combining like terms. Subtract the coefficients of the terms with the same variables. Subtract 5r by 4r.


60 = 5r-4r + 14\\60 = r + 14

2) Now, finally isolate r by subtracting both sides by 14.


60 = r + 14\\46 = r

So, r = 46.
