I GOT 4
BUT I AM NOT SURE IF I DID IT RIGHT

your answer of 4 is correct
1/16x + 1/4 = 1/2
Multiply both sides of the equation by 16
16(1/16x) + 16(1/4) = 16(1/2)
x + 4 = 8
x + 4 - 4 = 8 - 4
x = 4

1/16x + 1/4 = 1/2
1/16x = 1/2 - 1/4
1/16x = 1/4
x =1/4 divided by 1/16
x = 1/4 times 16/1
x = 4

1/(16x) + 1/4 = 1/2
Multiply by 16x:
1 + 4x = 16x / 2
1 + 4x = 8x
Subtract 4x:
1 = 4x
Divide by 4:
x = 1/4.
If it's
x / 16 + 1/4 = 1/2,
then:
Multiply by 16:
x + 4 = 8
Subtract 4.
x = 4.

1/16x + 1/4 = 1/2
- 1/4 -1/4
1/16x = 1/4
1/16(1/16)x = 1/16(1/2)
x = 0.3125

YAY!! 4 is the right answer. here's how you do it:
1/16x + 1/4 = 1/2
First you subtract 1/4 from 1/2 ( 1/2 - 1/4)
You get 1/4
now you divide 1/4 by 1/16
you get 4
so x = 4
