Explanation

Choice B is correct. Subtracting 34 from each side of the given equation yields p = q + r - 34 . Thus, the equation p = q + r - 34 correctly expresses p in terms of q and r .

Choice A is incorrect. This equation can be rewritten as p - 34 = q + r .

Choice C is incorrect. This equation can be rewritten as p - 34 = - q - r .

Choice D is incorrect. This equation can be rewritten as p + 34 = - q - r .
