a/ 2x - 10 - [3x - 14 - (4 - 5x) - 2x] = 2
=> 2x - 10 - (3x - 14 - 4 + 5x - 2x) = 2
=> 2x - 10 - 3x + 14 + 4 - 5x + 2x = 2
=> -4x + 6 = 0
=> -4x = -6
=> x = 3/2
b/ \(\left(\frac{1}{4}x-1\right)+\left(\frac{5}{6}x-2\right)-\left(\frac{3}{8}x+1\right)=4,5\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{1}{4}x-1+\frac{5}{6}x-2-\frac{3}{8}x-1-\frac{9}{2}=0\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{17}{24}x-\frac{17}{2}=0\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{17}{24}x=\frac{17}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow x=12\)
