Answer: 4

Explanation:

Terms: Increased means adding, a product means multiplication.

1. Convert it into an equation: 6+4x=22

2. Then subtract 6 from the left side and pass it to the right to get 22-6= 16. Now, you have 4x=16.

3. Then you want to leave the x alone, so you divide both sides of the equation by 4.

4. Therefore, your answer is 4!

Hope this helps :)
