Hello Guest!
\(x=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{2}(x-\frac{2}{3}x)+7miles\\ x-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{2}(x-\frac{2}{3}x)=7miles\\ x-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{3}x=7miles\\ \frac{6-4-3+2}{6}\cdot x=7miles\\ x=6\cdot 7miles\\ \color{blue}x=42miles\)
The distance from Chicago to Paris (Illinois) is 42 miles.
