Answer 1

If you are solving for X The answer is X=6

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

The given statement can be expressed as an equation:

3x + 4 = 22

To solve this equation, we'll isolate the variable x.

Subtract 4 from both sides:

3x = 22 - 4

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 18 / 3

x = 6

Therefore, x = 6.
