Answer 1

To find the correct solution for the equation, we can substitute each option into the equation and see which one makes it true.

For x=7:
36 - 22 = 2(7)
14 = 14
This is true.

For x=12:
36 - 22 = 2(12)
14 = 24
This is not true.

For x=14:
36 - 22 = 2(14)
14 = 28
This is not true.

For x=29:
36 - 22 = 2(29)
14 = 58
This is not true.

Therefore, the correct solution is x=7.
