i believe it would be addition property of equality since you can add 14 and 8 to recieve the number that the 8 is being subtracted from to get 14. So in this case x would equal 22.

Answer:

addition property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x-8 = 14[/tex]

To solve for x, we need to get x alone

To get x alone, get rid of -8 from left hand side

[tex]x-8 = 14[/tex]

To get rid of -8, we add 8 on both sides

[tex]x- 8 +8= 14+8[/tex]

[tex]x=22[/tex]

8 is added on both sides, its addition property of equality
