There are many answers. I’ll give you three examples...

There is a pattern too, just a trick!
There are two methods to do this:
1. 2(x + 1) = 38
2*x + 2*1 = 38 (Expand the bracket)
2x + 2 = 38
2x = 36 (Subtract 2 from both sides)
x = 18 (Divide each side by 2)
2. 2(x + 1) = 38
(x + 1) = 19 (Divide each side by 2)
x = 18 (Subtract 1 from each side)
3 packs of pencils is 24 pencils total
2 packs of erasers is 24 erasers total
she will have equal amount of both
answer is 3packs pencils 2packs erasers
X² + 11x - 26 = 0
x² - 25 = 0
(x + 13)(x - 2) = 0
(x + 5)(x - 5) = 0
x = -13
x = 2
x = -5
x = 5
