3=7x-14+17
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by x-2.
3=7x+3
Add -14 and 17 to get 3.
7x+3=3
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
7x=3-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
7x=0
Subtract 3 from 3 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 7 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
