  1. 14
  2. 15
  3. 16
  4. 17

You can use a variable in place of the number to be found found. This will ease the calculation process.

The correct answer is: 14


    We are asked to find the numbers that has to be added to -23 to get -9. Let that number be x.
    So, we have -23+x=-9. Rearrange them to get the value of x. Thus, we have:
    -23+x=-9
    x=-9+23
    x=14
    Thus, the correct answer is option a.
