12 and 14
I = one, II = two, III = three, IV = four, V = five
VI = six, VII = seven, VIII = eight, IX = nine
X = ten
So... XII is ten plus two
and XIV is ten plus four
XX = 20
XXX= 30
XL = 40
L = 50
LX = 60
LXX = 70
LXXX = 80
XC = 90
C = 100
D = 500
M = 1000

There are several good answers that should be chosen over mine, but I thought that I'd look at the question from a couple of alternate interpretations:
XII AND XIV is XXVI (12 + 14 = 26)
XII = Xylophones in Ireland
XIV = Xerxes invades Venice
Dallas Cowboys defeat the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XII
Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl XIV
I have no idea about the Wrestlemanias as I stopped paying attention to them after Wrestlemania VI.

In roman numerals I is a 1 V is a 5 and X is a ten so the first is a 12 since it has a 10 and a 2. The second one is a 14 because it has a one before the 5 so you subtract one from the five making it a 10 and a 4 or 14.

In Roman numerals, I is one; II is two; III is three. Five is V; four is one less than five, so it is IV.
If a smaller roman numeral symbol is in front of a larger one, subtract the smaller from the larger; example:
I is one, V is five, IV is four.
If the smaller symbol follows the larger one, it is added; example: VI is six.
So you go I=one; II=two; III=three; IV=four; V=five; VI=six; VII=seven; VIII=eight; IX=nine.
What's this? A new symbol? X. What could it mean? Let's say ten ('cause that's what is does mean.) So IX is one less than ten. And XI is one more than ten.
So let's figure this out: If XI is eleven, then XII must be twelve. Yea! We're halfway there.
To answer your question, the above is all you need to know. You have learned that X is ten and that IV is four; I am sure you must know that ten and four are fourteen. So there you go--XII is twelve and XIV is fourteen.
This may surprise you--you can count as high using roman numerals as you can using arabic numerals (which is what we use, you know: 1,2,3,4,5,etc). It might be a good idea to check out your math book or a dictionary to learn the symbols--what is 50? 100? 500? 1000? and on it goes. Then simply apply the little rule--if the symbol for the smaller number is to the left of the larger number, subtract the smaller from the larger. If the smaller symbol is to the right of the larger one, add it to the larger one.

x= 10. Each l is a 1. so like, 12 for the first one. Then 10 again. plus 1 before v (witch is = to 5) .Since the l is before the v you actually subtract the 1 from the 5 leaving 4. so 12 and 14.
