Well you use PEMDAS (1. Parentheses 2. Exponents 3. Multiplication and Division in order from left to right 4. Addition and Subtraction in order from left to right) to solve. you have no parentheses or exponents so you do multiplication and division first 14*14 = 196, and 196/14 is 14. Then you do addition and subtraction. 14 + 14 = 28. 28 - 14 = 14.
