Solve for x in the following equation: 1/x+4=2

To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{x} + 4 = 2 \), we can start by isolating the term with \( x \).

1. Subtract 4 from both sides:
\[
\frac{1}{x} = 2 - 4
\]
\[
\frac{1}{x} = -2
\]

2. Now, to solve for \( x \), we take the reciprocal of both sides:
\[
x = \frac{1}{-2}
\]
\[
x = -\frac{1}{2}
\]

Thus, the solution for \( x \) is:
\[
\boxed{-\frac{1}{2}}
\]
