5x+2=3x-20-1x
add like terms
5x+2=(3-1)x-20
5x+2=2x-20
subtract 2x from both sdies
5x-2x+2=2x-2x-20
3x+2=0-20
subtract 2 from both sides
3x+2-2=-20-2
3x=-22
divide both sides by 3
x=-22/3 or -7 and 1/3

7.211; Starting from the left to right, x1=3 x2=7, y1=2 y2=8. Plug these in to the distance formula $\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2$

(7-3)^2+(8-2)^2

(4)^2+(6)^2
