    The word "is" in this kind of problem typically means "=", so we know that something = - 8. Since we're finding the number, we should start with the closest thing in the phrase given to that number. In this case, it's 3/4x. Finally, since we have the "14 less than", we need to add that in. Your answer is:

    3/4x-14=-8. Now we can just solve!

    +14 + 14

    3/4x=6.

    *4/3 * 4/3

    x=8.
