A function y = 2x + 12 is given with the scope of definition D = R. At what values of x is the value of function y equal to 38?

In order to determine the value of x, substitute 38 (the value of y) instead of y in the function.

38 = 2x + 12.

To solve a linear equation, we transfer the numbers to the right side, to the left side of the expression with the unknown. When transferring a number from one part to another, we change the signs to the opposite.

2x = 38 – 12;

2x = 26;

x = 26/2;

x = 13.

Answer: x is 13 with y is 38.
