Error using sym>convertChar (line 1537)
Character vectors and strings in the first argument can only
specify a variable or number. To evaluate character vectors and
strings representing symbolic expressions, use 'str2sym'.

Since R2017b (I think it is) you cannot pass character vectors to laplace() . You need to construct the symbolic equation and pass that instead.

Eliminate the single quotes, use double equal signs in the symbolic expression, express ‘x’ as ‘x(t)’ in the syms declaration (otherwise, ‘x’ is assumed to be a constant), and it works —
syms x(t) t s X F
Dx = diff(x);
D2x = diff(Dx);
F = laplace(D2x+7*Dx+10*x(t) == 20,s); % solving using laplace transform
F = subs(F,{x(0),Dx(0)},{5,3}); % initial values
F = subs(F,{laplace(x(t),t,s)},{X}); % substituting the initial values then solve Laplace
X = solve(F,X);
X = ilaplace(X);
X = simplify(X); pretty(X);
disp(X)
Character arrays have not been allowed for the last few releases. (The one exception that remains is in the sym funciton.)
