0

-2

2

1

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 4(x + 2) = 16 \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the 4 on the left side: \[ 4x + 8 = 16 \]

2. Subtract 8 from both sides: \[ 4x = 16 - 8 \] \[ 4x = 8 \]

3. Divide both sides by 4: \[ x = \frac{8}{4} \] \[ x = 2 \]

So, the solution for \( x \) is \( 2 \). The correct answer is 2.
