Solve for x. 2x +10 = 38

Isolate x term: Isolate the term with the variable x. To do this, we need to subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term on the left side. 2x + 10 - 10 = 38 - 10 2x = 28Subtract to eliminate constant: Solve for x. Now that we have 2x = 28, we divide both sides by 2 to solve for x. 2x / 2 = 28 / 2 x = 14
