Real world example could be:
Consider x is time in minutes
Consider y is the amount of fish food required in grams
The equation could then represent how much food (in grams) that a fish needs to be fed x minutes after it was previously fed.
It Is Just -1.
The Parenthesis Are All Simplified, And The Subtraction Sign Changes It To Negative. So, 1 Changed To Negative Is -1. <span />
2x4 is the answer to 4x-2=38
108 = .36x
divide both sides by .36
300 = x
