Or which equation would x = 4 be a solution?

2x + 7 = 22
6x ÷ 8 = 3
8 - 3x = 20
2x + 8 = 4

Other method.

Enter the value of x for each equation and check the equality of the pages of the equation


2x+7=22\\L=2(4)+7=8+7=15;\qquad R=22\qquad L\\eq R\\\\6x/8=3\\L=6(4)/8=24/8=3;\qquad R=3;\qquad L=R\\\\8-3x=20\\L=8-3(4)=8-12=-4;\qquad R=20;\qquad L\\eq R\\\\2x+8=4\\L=2(4)+8=8+8=16;\qquad R=4;\qquad L\\eq R
