To solve this equation, we can first combine the like terms on the left side:
36/67 - (19/67) - (x/67) = 28/67
17/67 - x/67 = 28/67
Now, we can simplify by combining the fractions:
(17 - x) / 67 = 28 / 67
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
67(17 - x) = 28(67)
1139 - 67x = 1876
Now, add 67x to both sides:
1139 = 67x + 1876
Subtract 1876 from both sides:
-737 = 67x
Divide by 67 on both sides to solve for x:
x = -737 / 67
Therefore, the solution is x = -11. We can substitute x back into the original equation to verify our solution:
36/67 - (19/67) - (-11/67) = 28/67
36/67 - 19/67 + 11/67 = 28/67
27/67 = 28/67
Both sides are equal, so our solution is correct.
