Answer is x= 4/87
Step 1: multiply 4 by both sides of the equation which is 22. Which gives you x+4= 88x
Step 2: Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign (it was +4 but it’s now -4) then move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign (which is +88 but is now -88x)
Step 3: collect like terms which is 1-88x that gives you -87x= -4
Step 4: divide both sides by -87
That gives you the answer

1/4x +1= 22
Multiply by 4
X+4 = 88x
Move the terms
X- 88x= -4
Collect like terms
-87x=-4
Divide by -87
Equals 4/87
