\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{(x +2)/(4)=8}


\large\textsf{MULTIPLY 4 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{(x +2)/(4)*4=8*4}


\large\textsf{CANCEL out: 4}*\large\textsf{4.}


\large\textsf{KEEP: 8}*\large\textsf{4 because it helps you solve for x}


\mathsf{8*4=\bf 32}


\large\text{New equation: \textsf{x + 32 = \bf 32}}


\large\textsf{x + 2 = 32}


\large\textsf{SUBTRACT 2 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{x +2-2=32-2}


\large\textsf{CANCEL out: 2}-\large\textsf{2 because that gives you 0}


\large\textsf{KEEP: 32}-\large\textsf{2 because that helps you solve for x}


\large\textsf{New EQUATION: \mathsf{x = 32 - 2}}


\mathsf{x = 32 - 2}


\large\textsf{Simplify above and you have your result to this equation}


\mathsf{32-2=\bf 30}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf x =30}}}\huge\checkmark


\large\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
