Hey there! :)

2x + 4 > 16

We're simply just trying to get x onto it's own side, so let's get rid of any numbers on the same side of it.

We can start out by subtracting both sides by 4.

2x + 4 - 4 > 16 - 4

Simplify.

2x > 12

Then, divide both sides by 2.

2x ÷ 2 > 12 ÷ 2

Simplify.

x > 6

Therefore, our answer is D. x > 6

~Hope I helped!~
