Answer: -14

Step-by-step explanation: Here we're asked to simplify -|-14| so we

start by simplifying the absolute value of -14.

Remember that the absolute value of

any positive or negative integer is positive.

So the absolute value of -14 is 14.

So we write (14) in parenthses like I have just done.

Next, we bring down the negative sign

that was outside the absolute value.

So we're left with -(14) or -14.
