    The opposite of 14 is - 14.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Opposites are numbers with the same distance from 0 but one is to the right of 0 and the other is to the left of 0.

    The opposite of 0 is itself, 0.

    So the opposite of 5 is - 5 since both 5 and - 5 have the same distance from 0 and one is to the left and one is to the right of 0.

    The opposite of 14 is - 14 since both have the same distance from 0 and one is to the right and one is to the left of 0.

    You can also think of this question as what can I add to 14 that will give me 0.

    The answer is - 14 since - 14+14=0.

    Another word for opposites is additive inverses. When you add additive inverses you get 0.

    Another example: What is the opposite of - 16?

    The answer is 16 since 16 + (-16) = 0.
