    The answer to your question is Neutrons = 54

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    Number of neutrons = ?

    Atomic number = 38

    Mass number = 92

    Definition

    The Mass number is the number of protons + the number of neutrons

    The Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom

    Then, considering the previous definitions,

    Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number

    - Substitution

    Number of neutrons = 92 - 38

    - Result
