To solve the equation \(130 = 7 + 20x + 3\), we can start by simplifying the right-hand side.
First, combine the constants:
\[
7 + 3 = 10
\]
Now, substitute that back into the equation:
\[
130 = 10 + 20x
\]
Next, subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:
\[
130 - 10 = 20x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
120 = 20x
\]
Now, divide both sides by 20 to solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{120}{20} = 6
\]
Thus, the value of \(x\) is:
\[
\boxed{6}
