Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 20 = 2x - 3(3x + 2)
Distribute
7x -20 = 2x -9x -6
Combine like terms
7x-20 =-7x -6
Add 7x to each side
7x+7x-20 =-7x+7x -6
14x -20 = -6
Add 20 to each side
14x-20+20 =-6+20
14x = 14
Divide by 14
14x/14=14/14
x=1
3+1/4+2+1/4+3/4+1+3/4= 8ft. Therefore Barb started with 8ft of ribbon
Can you please show something, I can not solve it without something to look at, but I believe the answer may be 28.
