9+3+3+2+x=0.7\left(x+38\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -38 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+38.
12+3+2+x=0.7\left(x+38\right)
Add 9 and 3 to get 12.
15+2+x=0.7\left(x+38\right)
Add 12 and 3 to get 15.
17+x=0.7\left(x+38\right)
Add 15 and 2 to get 17.
17+x=0.7x+26.6
Use the distributive property to multiply 0.7 by x+38.
17+x-0.7x=26.6
Subtract 0.7x from both sides.
17+0.3x=26.6
Combine x and -0.7x to get 0.3x.
0.3x=26.6-17
Subtract 17 from both sides.
0.3x=9.6
Subtract 17 from 26.6 to get 9.6.
x=\frac{9.6}{0.3}
Divide both sides by 0.3.
x=\frac{96}{3}
Expand \frac{9.6}{0.3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=32
Divide 96 by 3 to get 32.
