Add 14 to both sides, so you get 10 = m.
Explanation:
With a question formatted like this, you need to find a way to isolate the variable m, to get a clean equation. For -4 = m - 14, you can isolate the variable by adding a positive 14 to both sides, giving the equation, -4 + 14 = m -14 + 14.
To simplify the first side, you can rearrange this part to look like
14 + (- 4), which is the same as 14 - 4, which is 10
For the second part, you can rearrange this part to look like
m + 14 + (-14), which is the same as m + 14 -14, which is m + 0 which leaves that part as just "m".
Combine the two parts and you get
10 (from the first part) = "m"(from the second part).
10 = m
