Question

What is the solution of the equation m - 8 = -14?

Answer 1

$\large\bf\blue{ \diamond} \rm \: \: m \: - \: 8 \: = \: - 14 \\ \\ \large\bf\blue{ \diamond} \rm \: \: m \: = \: - 14 \: + \: 8 \\ \\ \large\bf\blue{ \diamond} \rm \: \: m \: = \: - 6$

Answer 2

m - 8 = -14
(You need to get rid of the -8 because you want the letter on its own, so to get rid of it you add 8 to both sides)
m= -14 + 8
m = -6

Answer: m=-6
