Answer:

x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

7+0.20x=5+0.30x              

then take the 7 and subtracet the 2 from it, then take the 0.30 and subtract the 0.20 from it then you should get 2=0.10x      

then to get rid of the 0.10 you take it and divide it from the 2 which gives you 20 then you have 20=x and thats your answer
