You can think in reverse. Addition is the opposite of subtraction. So to solve 15-8, you can ask "8 plus what number is equal to 15?" and note how 8+7 = 15. So that's why 15-8 = 7. Similarly, 15-7 = 8 can be solved the same way.

Calculate either in your head or on a paper what plus 8 equals 15, you can solve it easily this way. It is probably easier to do in your head (9, 10, 11, ...), continue on and make sure to remember how much is the sum.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$\boxed{R_{4}=20\Omega}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

If resistors are in series, so the current $I$ is the same in all of them. In this problem we have four resistors. So, we can get a relationship between the Equivalent resistance of series combination and the four resistors as follows:
