x+14=-12
Get (x) to itself on the left side. So, do the opposite of addition which is subtraction, and subtract 14 from the left and right side.
x + 14 - 14 = -12 - 14
x = -12 - 14
Note: A minus sign in front of a positive number makes that number negative. So, you will add the numbers. -12 + -14 = -26
Answer: x = -26
Check answer: Put (-26) in place of (x) in the problem.
-26 + 14 = -12
Note: A negative number plus a positive number is negative/positive depending which number is bigger. You will subtract.
-26 + 14 = -12
-12 = -12
