Answer:

It depends on what you're looking for, but-

Writing an equation from words: w+14=5

Solving for w: w=-9

Explanation:

Writing an equation from words:

"Sum" means the answer to an addition problem, for example,

1+1=2.

2 would be the sum.

Anyways, the word problem says the sum is 5. So this is what our equation looks like: ?=5

The two numbers being added together are "w" and "14," which leads us to our answer: w+14=5

Solving for w:

w+14=5

Subtract 14 from both sides to get your answer:

w= -9
