Question

What is x when the equation is -x - 14 = -2

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Answer 2

X = -12

process:

-x - 14 = -2
move -14 to the other side which gets you

-x = 12
divide both sides by -1

x = -12
