Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]x + 2 = \frac{x}{4} + 5[/tex]
Multiply through by 4 to eliminate the fraction
That's
[tex]4x + 8 = \frac{x}{4} \times 5 + 5 \times 4 \\ 4x + 8 = x + 20[/tex]
Subtract x from each side
That's
[tex]4x - x + 8 = x - x + 20 \\ 3x + 8 = 20[/tex]
Subtract 8 from each side
[tex]3x + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8 \\ 3x = 12[/tex]
Divide both sides by 3
[tex] \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{12}{3} [/tex]
We have the final answer as
x = 4
Hope this helps you
