1. The problem is to simplify the expression $(6 - (-8)) \div (-7)$.\n\n2. First, simplify inside the parentheses: subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive, so $6 - (-8) = 6 + 8$.\n\n3. Calculate $6 + 8 = 14$. Now the expression is $14 \div (-7)$.\n\n4. Division by a negative number means the result will be negative. So $14 \div (-7) = -2$.\n\n5. Therefore, the simplified result of the expression is $-2$.
