14) \( 5 \geq-a \)

Let's flip the inequality to make it easier to interpret. If \(5 \geq -a\), this can be rewritten as \(-a \leq 5\). To isolate \(a\), we multiply both sides by -1, remembering to reverse the inequality sign, leading us to \(a \geq -5\). This means that \(a\) can take any value that is greater than or equal to -5. Whenever working with inequalities, double-checking is key! A common mistake is forgetting to flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number. Always keep that in mind so you can steer clear of those pesky errors while solving problems.
