Ok.
Switch the problem so it could look like this:
19−14=b
Now, subtract.
19−14=5
Now, change the problem back to its original form:
14−5=19
Because the postive 5 making the statement false, put the negative symbol behing the 5.
−5
Now, put the equation with -5.
14−(−5)=19
So, b=−5.
There is another way to solve this. if you are confused, just ask, and I will give an easier explanation.
