just a little info here.

In many countries a comma is used instead of a decimal point.

Hard to answer this without knowing what you mean. Instead of a comma, should there be another sign of operation?

Assuming this is 

 

$$6x^{1.7}+4=14$$

 

subtract 4 from both sides

$$6x^{1.7}=10$$

 

divide by 6

$$x^{1.7}=\frac{10}{6}$$

 

Take logs of both sides and use the fact that log(ab) = b*log(a) and log(a/b) = log(a) - log(b)

$$1.7\log{x}=\log{10}-\log{6}$$

 

divide by 1.7

$$\log{x}=\frac{\log{10}-\log{6}}{1.7}$$

 

Use the fact that log10a = b means a = 10b

$$x=10^{\frac{\log{10}-\log{6}}{1.7}}$$

 

and since log1010 = 1

$$x=10^{\frac{1-\log{6}}{1.7}}$$

 

You can complete the calculation.
