You are required to find the number of candies in your pocket

Let

x = number of candies in your pocket

A friend gives you five more candies.

Total candies = 14

This can be represented by the equation:

Total candies = candies in your pocket + candies your friend gave you

14 = x + 5

14 - 5 = x

9 = x

x = 9 candies

x = number of candies in your pocket = 9

x=-7

x+3=-10

-10+3=-7

x=-7
