You can put this solution on YOUR website! trying to put 4 characters on a page.
The space occupied by character 2 takes 5 units more than character 1, character 3 takes 7 units less than the character 2,
and character 4 takes the same space as that taken by character 2.
Find the total space occupied by all the characters in an algebraic expression.
=============
Let char 1 take x units
Then char 2 takes x+5 units
And char 3 takes x+5-7 = x-2 units
And char 4 takes x+5
---------------
Adding you get 4x+8 units
=============
