As per the problem , we have
Jim has 38 bottles of water in 9 packs of x bottles.
And one pack that contains only 2 bottles.
we have been asked to find the value of x?
As per the given information in the problem we can write
[tex] 9x+2=38\\
\\
\text{Take the like terms together we get}\\
\\
9x=38-2\\
\\
9x=36\\
\\
\text{Divide both the sides by 9 , we get}\\
\\
x=4\\
\\
\text{Hence the value of x is 4} [/tex]
