38x-16+15=10x+20
Combine 8x and 30x to get 38x.
38x-1=10x+20
Add -16 and 15 to get -1.
38x-1-10x=20
Subtract 10x from both sides.
28x-1=20
Combine 38x and -10x to get 28x.
28x=20+1
Add 1 to both sides.
28x=21
Add 20 and 1 to get 21.
x=\frac{21}{28}
Divide both sides by 28.
x=\frac{3}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{21}{28} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 7.
