Answer:

  x = 41 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

(2 1/2)x -(3/4)(2x +5) = 38

(2 1/2)x -(1 1/2)x -15/4 = 38 . . . . use the distributive property

x = 38 +3 3/4 . . . . . . add 15/4

x = 41 3/4

_____

Another way to solve this is to "clear fractions" by multiplying the whole equation by 4:

  10x -3(2x +5) = 152

  4x -15 = 152 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4x = 167 . . . . . . . add 15

  x = 41 3/4 . . . . . . divide by 4
