x = 14 would make the equation 36 - 22 = 2x true.
When we substitute x = 14 in the equation, we get:
36 - 22 = 2(14)
14 = 28
This statement is not true.
Substituting x=12, x=29, and x=7 in the equation gives:
- x=12: 36 - 22 = 2(12) -> 14 = 24 (not true)
- x=29: 36 - 22 = 2(29) -> 14 = 58 (not true)
- x=7: 36 - 22 = 2(7) -> 14 = 14 (true)
Therefore, the solution that makes the equation true is x=7.
