I'll assume you mean


(x+4)/(4+x)

The numerator and denominator are equal (x+4=4+x) so the answer is 1.

Answer: 1

That's excepting when x=-4 but we don't need to go there.

Answer:

The value which is equivalent to
(x+4)/(4+x) is :

1

Explanation:

We are given a radical expression as:


(x+4)/(4+x)

Now, we know that the addition is commutative.

This means that:


4+x=x+4

Hence, the quantity becomes:


(x+4)/(4+x)=(x+4)/(x+4)

Since, the expression is same in the numerator and denominator, hence, the values get cancelled out.

We get the resulting value as: 1
