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'.

Ran in:
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);
exp(-2 t) 6 - exp(-5 t) 3 + 2
disp(X)
Character arrays have not been allowed for the last few releases. (The one exception that remains is in the sym funciton.)

Firstly thank you
I have notived t is not needed ..Why so?

F = subs(F,{laplace(x(t),s)},{X}); % substituting the initial values then solve Laplace
%F = subs(F,{laplace(x(t),t,s)},{X}); % t is not really needed
X = solve(F,X);
disp('laplace solution = '),disp(X)

X = simplify(X); %pretty(X);
disp('inverse laplace Solution = '),disp(X)
