First you have to multiply the 4 with the x and 7 so that will be 4x+28=38 Second you have to divide 4 with 38 and that is 9.5 Third then you subtract 9.5-28=-18.5 I hope this is correct
The answer is x= 5/2 1. Distribute- multiply 4 times x and 7 times 4. You should get 4x+28=38 2. Move constant to right. You should get 4x =38-28 3. Calculate to get 4x=10 4. Divide 10 by 4 to get 5/2 or 2.5
