Evaluate 14+-8

$14 + - 8$

Step 1

Replace all occurrences of $+$ $-$ with a single $-$ . A plus sign followed by a minus sign has the same mathematical meaning as a single minus sign because $1 \cdot - 1 = - 1$

$14 - 8$

Step 2

Subtract using long subtraction.

Set up the subtraction problem in long subtraction format.


	$1$	$4$
$-$		$8$

Borrow $10$ from the digit in the next column to the left. Add the borrowed $10$ to $4$ . Reduce the number that was borrowed from by $1$ .

	$0$	$14$
	$1$	$4$
$-$		$8$

Subtract $8$ from $14$ .

	$0$	$14$
	$1$	$4$
$-$		$8$
		$6$

Subtract $0$ from $0$ .

	$0$	$14$
	$1$	$4$
$-$		$8$
	$0$	$6$

	$0$	$14$
	$1$	$4$
$-$		$8$
	$0$	$6$

Step 3

The result of $14 - 8$ is $6$ .

$6$
