Answer:
I agree with Noah's Method because following PEMDAS you have to do exponents first. 10^3 is 1000 and then you can add the 20. Jada's method is incorrect because you cannot add the two together.
7x-5=5x+23
7x-5x=23+5
2x=28
x=28/2
x=14

I am almost positive that the answer could be 8 feet below sea level
<h3><u>The value of x is equal to 1.</u></h3><h3><u>6(x + 2) = 20x - 2</u></h3>
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
6x + 12 = 20x - 2
<em><u>Add 2 to both sides.</u></em>
6x + 14 = 20x
<em><u>Subtract 16x from both sides.</u></em>
14 = 14x
<em><u>Divide both sides by x.</u></em>
x = 1
