    Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. 7 - (2x+11) + 3 (3-x) = 20 Simplify: (Hide steps) 7+-2x+-11 + (3) (3) + (3) (-x) = 20 (Distribute) 7+-2x+-11+9+-3x=20 (-2x+-3x) + (7+-11+9) = 20 (Combine Like Terms) - 5x+5=20 - 5x+5=20 Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides. - 5x+5-5=20-5 - 5x=15 Step 3: Divide both sides by - 5. - 5x - 5 = 15 - 5 x=-3 3y+5 = x x-y = 35 x = 35+y 3y+5 = 35+y 3y-y = 30 y = 30/2 = 15. x = 35+15 = 50 7*6=42 So there are 6 toppings.
