Answer: x = 4

Explanation:

Given equation

7x + 14/3 - 17 - 3x = 6x - 4x + 2/3 - 5

Combine like terms on both sides

(7x - 3x) + 14/3 - 17 = (6x - 4x) + 2/3 - 5

4x + 14/3 - 17 = 2x + 2/3 - 5

Subtract 2/3 on both sides

4x + 14/3 - 17 - 2/3= 2x + 2/3 - 5 - 2/3

4x + 12/3 - 17 = 2x - 5

4x + 4 - 17 = 2x - 5

4x - 13 = 2x - 5

Add 13 on both sides

4x - 13 + 13 = 2x - 5 + 13

4x = 2x + 8

Subtract 2x on both sides

4x - 2x = 2x + 8 - 2x

2x = 8

Divide 2 on both sides

2x / 2 = 8 / 2


\boxed{x=4}

Hope this helps!! :)
