Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{8}}}}}

Explanation:

First, finding the value of x


\sf{2x + 8 = 16}

Move 8 to right hand side and change it's sign


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{2x = 16 - 8}}

Subtract 8 from 16


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{2x = 8}}

Divide both sides by 2


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ (2x)/(2) = (8)/(2) }}

Calculate


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{x = 4}}

Value of x is 4

Now, Substituting / Replacing the value of x in order to find x+4


\sf{x + 4}

plug the value of x


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{4 + 4}}

Add the numbers : 4 and 4


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{8}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
