If this is just an expression, then all you have to do is combine like terms, or groups of numbers and variables that have the same variable.
When simplified, you get the equation
-12+ 16r or
-18+6+3r+13r=16r-12
The answer depends on the perspective; however, this question is often meant to be a "trick question"; with the answer being: 2 (two) apples!
_______________________________________________
The rationale behind this answer is that if there are three apples, but you "take 2 away" you now have "2" apples, because YOU are the one who "took away the 2 apples"—so presumably, YOU have the "2 apples" that YOU "took away"!
5∛x + 4 = 44
5∛x = 40
∛x = 8
x = 8^3
x = 512
answer
