To determine which solution makes the equation \( 36 - 22 = 2x \) true, let's first simplify the left side:
\[ 36 - 22 = 14 \]
Now we can rewrite the equation as:
\[ 14 = 2x \]
Next, we solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides by 2:
\[ x = \frac{14}{2} = 7 \]
Therefore, the correct solution is \( x = 7 \).
