To solve the equation \( 14x - 2 = 7 \):
- Start by adding 2 to both sides of the equation:
\[ 14x - 2 + 2 = 7 + 2 \] \[ 14x = 9 \]
- Next, divide both sides by 14:
\[ x = \frac{9}{14} \]
The problem states \( x \neq 2 \), but since \( \frac{9}{14} \) is not equal to 2, it's valid.
Thus, the solution can be expressed in set notation as:
\[ { \frac{9}{14} } \]
Final answer:
\[ { \frac{9}{14} } \]
