Answer :

The  property of equality was used to solve this equation is addition property of equality

Addition property of equality

The property states that the additive property of equality states that if we add or subtract the same number to both sides of an equation, the sides remain equal.

Given the expression

X-5=-14

Add 5 to both sides to have;

x-5 + 5 = -14 + 5

x = -14 + 4

x = -9
