In these types of questions, you have to try to isolate the unknown variable.
14 = 2 + r - 21.
Remember whenever you move ANYTHING over the equals sign, you have to make its sign opposite. Since the r is positive, and we are moving it over the equals sign we have to make it a negative sign. When we move the 14 over, it is currently positive so we make it into a negative.
-r = -14 + 2 - 21
-r = -12 - 21
-r = -43
(Eliminate the negative sign)
r = 43.
(2, 1)
14 - 6 + 2 = 6
-14
7+2+5= 14 35 42
(-8) + (-8) + (+2) = -8 - 8 + 2 = -14
9x + 2 = 12x + 14 -3x = 12 x = -4
9+5=14 divided by 7 equals 2
14
M= 2.
x = 4
x = -14
612 plus 1426 equals 2038.
