To solve for x in the equation 1/x+4 = 2, we can start by isolating the variable x.
Subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation, we have:
1/x = 2 - 4
Simplifying the right side of the equation, we get:
1/x = -2
To isolate x, we can take the reciprocal of both sides of the equation:
x/1 = -1/2
Simplifying the right side of the equation, we get:
x = -1/2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 1/x+4 = 2 is x = -1/2.
Solve for x in the following equation: 1/x+4 =2. Write your answer in reduced fraction form, if applicable.
