Hey there!

-9 + x = -14

x - 9 = -14

ADD 9 to BOTH SIDES

x - 9 + 9 = -14 + 9

CANCEL out: -9 + 9 because it give you 0

KEEP: -14 + 9 because it help solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = -14 + 9

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = -5

Therefore, your answer is: x = -5

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
