Answer:
The position of the object is [tex]-2[/tex]
Explanation:
I add a picture of the situation in order to explain the question.
We are going to state the ''zero'' on a horizontal line. Then, we are going to state as positive the sense from left to right.
Now, if the object moves 14 units to the left , we need to subtract to the original position 14 units (because it will be a negative move given that the object is moving to the left) ⇒
[tex]12-14=-2[/tex]
It new position will be at [tex]-2[/tex].
In general, the first step to solve this kind of exercises is to set a reference system. Then, it is very important to draw the situation.
