20 = 7x + 2 - 4x
What does x equal

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

20 = 7x + 2 - 4x

7x + 2 - 4x  = 20    (switch the sides)

7x - 4x + 2 = 20     (group the like terms together)

3x + 2 = 20            (add similar numbers, in this case it's the both x's)

    -2     -2              (subtract 2 on both sides)

3x = 18

/3     /3                   (divide both sides by 3)

x = 6

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
