  4x + 2 = 16
  
  First we have to get " x " alone, so subtract 2 on both sides
  
  By subtracting, you should get
  
  4x = 14 now divide both sides by 4
  
  By dividing, you should get
  
  X = 14/4 simplify

  4x+2=16 First combine like terms
  
  -2   -2
  
  4x=14
  
  `(4x)/4 = 14/4`
  
  `x=3.5`

  To solve for x:
  
  `4x+2=16`
  
  `rArr 4x=16-2`
  
  `rArr 4x=14`
  
  `rArr x=14/4=7/2`
  
  Therefore the value of x is `7/2` or `3 1/2` .
