We need to write an equation using:
" 60 is the sum of 14 and Rick’s savings."
where we need to use R to represent Rick’s savings.
The sentence means that 60 is the result of adding 14 and Rick’s savings.
Then, we can write the next equation:
[tex]14+R=60[/tex]Solve for R:
[tex]R=60-14[/tex]Then:
[tex]R=46[/tex]Hence, 46 are Rick’s savings.
