Hi Brantaldonboyd,
Question:
50 = x - (-14) what is x?
Solution:
50 = x + 14
x + 14 = 50
x + 14 − 14 = 50 − 14
x = 36
Final Answer:
x = 36
Hope This Helps!
now we can write this as x-(-14) = 50
as we knw the rule, - and - becomes +
therefore : x + 14 = 50 ,
now we need to bring 14 to the right , while doing so , 14 becomes -14 as its positive in the left side . if we bring it to the right side it becomes -(negative )
so, x = 50 - 14
x = 36
