First, lets take all the x values on one side.
3x + x + 8 = -x + x + 20
4x + 8 = 20
Now, lets put the numbers on the other side.
4x + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8
4x = 12
x = 3
Hope this helps!

H = 70ft.
P = 35ft.
B = ?
H^2 = P^2 + B^2
70×70 = (35×35) + B^2
B^2 = 4900-1225
B = √3675
B = 35√3 ft.
The answer is 3 1/3 + 2 1/3 = 5 2/3
