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.
