Abbey · Answer 1

X = - 12

process:

-x - 14 = - 2

move - 14 to the other side which gets you

-x = 12

divide both sides by - 1

x = - 12

Martha Strickland · Answer 2

x = - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 14 to - 2 because you want to remove - 14 and leave x alone.

14 + - 2 = 12

-x = 12

Remove the negative sign by dividing both sides by negative 1

x = - 12
