Answer
$-24$
Work Step by Step
RECALL:
$\\\\a-b = a + (-b)$
$\\\\$Use the rule above to have:
$\\\\14-38 = 14 +(-38)$.
$\\\\\\$Note that $|-38| \gt |14|$. This means that the answer is negative.
$\\\\$Subtract the absolute values together keeping in mind that the answer is negative to have;
$\\\\=-(|-38| - |14|)
\\\\=-(38-14)
\\\\=-24$
