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 

 

6x1.7+4=14

 

subtract 4 from both sides

6x1.7=10

 

divide by 6

x1.7=106

 

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

1.7logx=log10log6

 

divide by 1.7

logx=log10log61.7

 

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

x=10log10log61.7

 

and since log1010 = 1

x=101log61.7

 

You can complete the calculation.
