Type the integer that makes the following subtraction sentence true:

Question

–12 −
= –26

Answer 1

To find the integer that makes the subtraction sentence true, we can set up the equation as follows:

\[ -12 - x = -26 \]

To isolate \( x \), we can add \( x \) to both sides and also add 26 to both sides:

\[ -12 = -26 + x \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = -12 + 26 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ x = 14 \]

Thus, the integer that makes the subtraction sentence true is:

\[ \boxed{14} \]
