Hello!
The first step is to subtract 1 from both sides.
[tex]\bf{3x+1=38}[/tex]
[tex]\bf{3x=37}[/tex]
Now, divide both sides by 3:
[tex]\bf{\displaystyle\frac{37}{3} }[/tex]
Can this fraction be simplified? Nope.
Why? Because 37 and 3 do not have any common factors, except 1 (and what's the point of dividing by 1?)
Hence, the answer is
[tex]\huge\boxed{\text{Answer:{\boxed{\circ\star{\frac{37}{3} }}}}}[/tex]
Hope everything is clear.
Let me know if you have any questions!
