What is the value of x in the equation 7x+2=4?

2
6
-2
0

The correct answer is: -2

In the equation, 7x+2=4, we need to get x by itself on one side of the equation. To do this, we must first subtract 2 from both sides of the equation. This gives us 7x=-2. Next, to isolate x, we divide both sides by 7. The result of this is x=-2/7. So you can see that option C, -2, is the correct value for x. Option A, 2, cannot be the value of x because when we substitute this value back into the equation, it would give us 7(2)+2=16, which is not equal to 4. Option B, 6, also cannot be the value of x as it would result in 7(6)+2=44, which is clearly not equal to 4. Option
