\[ 8 - \frac{8}{2} + 14 = 18 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{8}{1}\), \(\frac{-8}{2}\), and \(\frac{14}{1}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} 8 - \frac{8}{2} + 14 &= \frac{8 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{-8 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} + \frac{14 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{16 + -8 + 28}{2} \\ &= \frac{36}{2} \\&= 18 \end{aligned} \]
