4(x+7)=38
The distribute multiplication property allows us to multiple the 4 by the “x” and the 4 by the 7.
This brings us to

4x +28 = 38

Now we must subtract the 28 to the 38 in order to begin getting the “x” by itself.

4x = 10

Now divide by 4 to fully get the X alone

4x/4 = 10/4

x= 10/4 = 5/2 = 2 1/2

Ask your teacher for help if you are unclear in the future! Hope this helps.
