The question asks which expression has the same value as $(-14) - 8$.

To solve this:

1. $(-14) - 8$ simplifies to: $-14 - 8 = -22$ So, the value is $-22$.

Now let's evaluate each option to see which one equals $-22$:

• Option a: $(-14) + 8$ $-14 + 8 = -6 \quad (\text{Not the same as } -22)$
• Option b: $14 - (-8)$ $14 - (-8) = 14 + 8 = 22 \quad (\text{Not the same as } -22)$
• Option c: $14 + (-8)$ $14 + (-8) = 6 \quad (\text{Not the same as } -22)$
• Option d: $(-14) + (-8)$ $-14 + (-8) = -14 - 8 = -22 \quad (\text{This matches the original expression!})$

So, Option d is the correct answer, as it gives the same value of $-22$.
