Answer:

The solution to the equation is:


x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:


4x+16=24

To solve this, first of all, subtract 16 from both sides of the equation


\begin{gathered} 4x+16-16=24-16 \\ \\ 4x=8 \end{gathered}

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 4


\begin{gathered} (4x)/(4)=(8)/(4) \\ \\ x=2 \end{gathered}

This is the solution.

x = 2
