You posted your email in response to a question that had nothing to do
with this question. If you have new question, you should not send a
reply to someone else's question.

The lines you posted had no organization that would suggest they had
ever been part of a data.frame. The first 5 elements looked to be
variable names. But the number of elements was not evenly divisible by
5. Can you post a new message with complete data and the code (or
method) that you used to bring this data into the R environment?

If this is arranged as only one column, and you wanted the value in row
24, then the code might be:
df[24] <- df[24] + df[1]
> Also, how can I delete rows from the dataframe?
You could assign another object the values in the first object rows
that you wanted kept:
df2 <- df[c(1:3, 5:10), ]
Or you could exclude the rows you wanted dropped using a minus-sign:
df2 <- df[-4,]
df2 <- df[-c(2,5,8), ]
