Solution

Let the total wheat bought by Archana be $x k g$ .
Wheat used in 1 month $= 12 k g$
$∴$ Wheat used in 3 months $= 3 \times 12 = 36 k g$
$∴ x - 36 = 14$
$∴ x - 36 + 36 = 14 + 36 \dots$ (Adding 36 to both sides)
$∴ x + 0 = 50$
$∴ x = 50$
$∴$ The total amount of wheat bought by Archana was $50 k g$ .
