The solution of 9x + 2 = 38 is x = 4.

Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 9x + 2 and y = 38 meet at x = 4-2246810-2020406080100x = 4y = 9x + 2y = 38
The lines y = 9x + 2 and y = 38 meet at x = 4. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    9x+2=389x + 2 = 38
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    9x+2−2=38−2 ⇒ 9x=369x + 2 - 2 = 38 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 36
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=369 ⇒ x=4\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{36}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 4
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 4 back into the equation.

    9⋅4+2=36+2=38✓9\cdot4 + 2 = 36 + 2 = 38 \checkmark
