The answer you are looking for is x=4.

Solution/Explanation:

Writing out the equation first

4x+6=22

Subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation

4x+6-6=22-6

6-6 cancels out because it equals 0.

4x+0=22-6

4x=22-6

Now, simplifying 22-6, which is 16

4x=16

Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by 4

4x/4=16/4

4x/4=x

16/4=4

You will get x=4.

So, therefore, the final answer to this problem is x=4.

Hope this helped answer your question for you. Good day to you.
