Please look below.

Explanation:

In this question you need to simplify the left hand side so since it is entirely divided by 2 both sides need to be multiplied by 2 to simplify the equation and keep both sides equal.

(x+4)/2 xx 2 = 7 xx 2

x+4 = 14

Now you can subtract 4 from both sides to find x

x +4 - 4= 14 - 4

x = 10

Explanation:

We just use simple algebra. I personally like to get rid of the fraction first so this is how I do. (x+4)/2=7.
x+4=7*2
x+4=14
x=10
