I want the answer to this problem
3(x+2)-x=38

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+2)-x=38

Distribute

3x+6 -x = 38

Combine like terms

2x+6 = 38

Subtract 6 from each side

2x+6-6 = 38-6

2x = 32

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 32/2

x = 16

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
