Answer:
Let n = the unknown number which must be subtracted from -7 to get 14. We can translate this statement mathematically into the following equation to be solved for the variable n:
-7 - n = 14
To begin isolating n on the left side of the equation, thus solving for n, add 7 to both sides as follows:
-7 + 7 - n = 14 + 7
0 - n = 21
-n = 21
Now, to solve for n, multiply both sides by -1:
(-1)(-n) = (-1)(21)
(-1)[(-1)(n)] = -21
(-1)(-1)(n) = -21
(1)(n) = -21
n = -21
CHECK:
-7 - n = 14
-7 - (-21) = 14
-7 + 21 = 14
14 = 14
Therefore, n = -21 is the desired number necessary to subtract from -7 to get 14.
