How to get answer:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

38(2x+16)−2=13

(38)(2x)+(38)(16)+−2=13(Distribute)

76x+608+−2=13

(76x)+(608+−2)=13(Combine Like Terms)

76x+606=13

Step 2: Subtract 606 from both sides.

76x+606−606=13−606

76x=−593

Step 3: Divide both sides by 76.

(76x)/(76) = (-593)/(76)

Answer:

Decimal Form: −7.80263157…

Fraction Form:
(-593)/(76)

Mixed Number Form:
