Question

R - 17.1 = -4.8

Please show work. I kinda get how to do these problems but I don’t understand how the answer is 12.3. I got 34.2

Answer 1

Answer: r=12.3 *The answer must have a positive sign or decimal point.*

Explanation:

First, you had to do is add 17.1 from both sides of an equation.

`r-17.1+17.1=-4.8+17.1`

And then, simplify by equation.

`17.1+-4.8=12.3`

You can also add by the numbers.

`12.3+4.8=17.1`

`r=12.3`

Hope this helps!
