Explanation:

R+74=R-74

subtract 74 from both sides

R+74-74=R-74-74

R=R-148

Subtract R from both sides

R-R=R-148-R

0=-148

The input is contradiction, it has no solution

Simplifying
R + 74 = r + -74

Reorder the terms:
74 + R = r + -74

Reorder the terms:
74 + R = -74 + r

Solving
74 + R = -74 + r

Solving for variable 'R'.

Move all terms containing R to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-74' to each side of the equation.
74 + -74 + R = -74 + -74 + r

Combine like terms: 74 + -74 = 0
0 + R = -74 + -74 + r
R = -74 + -74 + r

Combine like terms: -74 + -74 = -148
R = -148 + r

Simplifying
R = -148 + r
