$x = 28$ $x=28$

In order to solve for x in the equation $\frac{x}{4} + 6 = 13$ $x/4 + 6 = 13$

begin by isolating the term with $x$ $x$ by subtracting $6$ $6$ from both sides of the equation

$x/4 cancel(+ 6) cancel(-6) = 13 -6$

$x/4=7$

now multiply by $4$ on each side to isolate the $x$ variable

$x/cancel4 cancel(4)=7(4)$

$x=28$
