Answer:

x= 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

5 -2x+12 = 14

Combine like terms

17 -2x = 14

Subtract 17 from each side

17-17 -2x = 14 -17

-2x = -3

Divide by -2

-2x/-2 = -3/-2

x = 3/2

x= 1.5

[tex]5-2x+12=14\\\\(5+12)-2x=12\\\\17-2x=14\qquad\text{subtract 17 from both sides}\\\\-2x=-3\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3}{-2}\\\\\boxed{x=1\dfrac{1}{2}}[/tex]
