Negative exponets are like normal ones
ex. 2^-2=-4 another way to do it 2^-2=2^2 with a - so you can do 2^2=4 add the - and it becomes -4.
14b + 6b - 12
(14b + 6b) - 12 collect like terms
20b - 12 << your answer
hope this helps, God bless!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to assume that the problem is -23x -214 = 274
And in that case...

-23x = 488
2. Then, divide both sides by -23 to truly get x alone:
x =
or -21.22
