To solve the equation 4x + 2 + x = 16, we need to combine like terms and then isolate the variable x.
Combining like terms, we have 5x + 2 = 16.
Next, we subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:
5x + 2 - 2 = 16 - 2 This simplifies to 5x = 14.
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:
5x/5 = 14/5 This simplifies to x = 14/5 or x = 2.8.
So, the solution to the equation is x = 2.8.
