8 + -14 (can also be written as 8 - 14) = -6
-8 + 22 = 14
14 + 8 = 22 Take 14 erasers and 8 more erasers. Then you will have 22 erasers. Thus, 14 + 8 = 22
6
22 + 14 + 8 = 14 + 22 + 8 [the commutative property of addition allows you to change the order of the operands] = 14 + (22 + 8) [by the associative property, the order in which the additions are performed does not matter] = 14 + 30 = 44
The given expression is x + 14 = 22. Subtract both sides by 14 to get: x - 14 + 14 = 22 - 14 x = 8 So x = 8 is a solution.

22! 8 + 8 is 16 + 6 = 22
22 + 14 = 36 Take 22 pencils and take 14 more pencils, then you will have 36 pencils. Thus, 22 + 14 = 36
14
22 - 14 = 8
