To find the number of inches of the 2 x 4 board that are left, we need to subtract the lengths of the boards that were cut from the total length of the board.
The carpenter started with a 2 x 4 board that was 96 inches long. The carpenter then cut 38 inches from the board for one project. This leaves 96 - 38 = <<96-38=58>>58 inches of board remaining.
Next, the carpenter cuts 25 inches from the remaining board for another project. This leaves 58 - 25 = <<58-25=33>>33 inches of board remaining.
Therefore, there are 33 inches of the 2 x 4 board left.
