Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Let the number be x, then
First subtract 14 from number x, then
x - 14
Now multiply difference by -2, results -44
(x - 14) × -2 = -44
By solving equation,
-2X + 28 = - 44
- 2X = -44 - 28
X = -72 ÷ -2
x = 36
So, Peter's number is 36.
