\displaystyle \\ 
\text{We use the following equation:} \\  \\ 
 \frac{n}{2} = n - 38 \\  \\ 
We solve for n: \\  \\ 
 \frac{n}{2} = n - 38 ~~\Big| \times 2 \\  \\  
n = 2 \times  n - 2 \times 38 \\  \\ 
n = 2n - 76 \\  \\ 
2n - n = 76 \\  \\ 
\boxed{n = 76} \\  \\ 
\text{Verification: } \\  \\ 
\frac{n}{2} = n - 38 \\  \\ 
\frac{76}{2} = 76 - 38 \\  \\ 
\boxed{38 = 38  ~~~ Correct }
