    He began with 12.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    14-8=6

    You need to multiply 6 because he sold half of his comic books at the beginning.

    6*2=12

    n = number he began with

    He sold half: n → n/2

    Then he bought 8: n/2 → n/2 + 8

    He is left with 14: n/2 + 8 = 14

    Solve for n and get

    n/2 = 14 - 8 = 6

    n/2 = 6

    n = 12
