What is the next number in this sequence?

Explanation

The next number in the series is always found by subtracting the previous number from the number before it. So you calculate the number at position 3 by subtracting the number at position 2 from the number at position 1

Watch out, subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the number.
14 - 28 = -14
28 - -14 = 42
-14 - 42 = -56
42 - -56 = 98
-56 - 98 = -154
