Infinite number of solutions. <span />
First you have to rewrite the equation:
(x ÷ 4) + 8 = 38
Second you have to write the division as fraction:
(¼x) + 8 = 38
Third you have to take off the unecessary bracket:
¼x + 8 = 38
Fourth multiply 8 and 38 by 4
x + 32 = 152
Fifth step move the constant to the right hand and change the sign.
x = 152 - 32
Then subtract:
x = 120
Hope this helps :))
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
We use the method of completing the squares.
The equation is

We rewrite the above equation to obtain;

We divide through by 3 to obtain;

We add half the coefficient of

to both sides of the equation to get,

The right hand side is now a perfect square.

We now take square root of both sides to get;

We add -2 to both sides,

We simplify to obtain,
