    So we wan't to simplify the eprression 19 - ( - 8) - (-14). To do that we need to understand what to do with the minus signs. A few rules apply: - (+1) = - 1 (+1) = - 1, - (-1) = - 1 (-1) = + 1 so minus times plus gives minus and minus times minus gives plus. And a minus sign in front of the bracket is like multiplying the bracket with minus 1. Now to simplify: 19 + (-1) (-1 * 8) + (-1) (-1*14) = 19+8+14=41.
