To find the number when the sum of a number and twelve is -14, we can set up an equation and solve for the unknown number.
Let's denote the unknown number as x.
The sum of the number and twelve can be represented as x+12.
According to the problem, this sum is equal to -14:
x+12=14
To isolate x, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
x+1212=1412
x=26
Therefore, the number is -26.
