Answer:

8 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the original amount of candy in the bowl to be x.

It says that 20 pieces of candy were added, therefore there are x+20 pieces of candy in the bowl.

Half of the candy is gone, therefore \frac{x+20}{2} pieces of candy are left in the bowl.

After half of the candy is gone, there are 14 pieces left, so we can say that \frac{x+20}{2} =14

Solve for x:

x+20 = 28

x=8
