Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Let the number be x, then

First subtract 14 from number x, then

x - 14

Now multiply difference by -2, results -44

(x - 14) × -2 = -44

By solving equation,

-2X + 28 = - 44

- 2X = -44 - 28

X = -72 ÷ -2

x = 36

So, Peter's number is 36.
