Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the rule for this:

a - (- b) = a + b

Thus, we have:

-14 - (-12) = -14 + 12

Add the number:

Since there are more negative than positive the final solution is negative

Hence, now 14 - 12 = 2

Now bring the negative down:

-2

Therefore, the answer is -2
