Answer:
x=2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
the first thing you want to do is simplify like terms.
you could say this is as 4(x+7)=38
this can easily be solved algebraically.
first use distributive property on the four
this leaves you with 4x+28=38
next, subtract 28 from both sides
4x=10
now divide everything by four and you get x=2.5
