Hello!

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\sf r = 41 }$

Explanation:

→ We want to find the Rita's age.

→ Let the Rita's age be r.

So we have this equation:

$\sf 52 = 11+r$

→ Let's solve this equation to find the Rita's age.

◼ Subtract 11 from both sides:

$\sf 52-11 = 11+r-11$

◼ Simplify both sides:

$\boxed{\sf r = 41 }$

Conclusion:

The Rita's age is 41.
