To solve the equation \[ \frac{x+4}{2} = 4 - \frac{x+6}{7}, \] first, let's eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator. The least common multiple of 2 and 7 is 14. Multiplying both sides by 14 gives: \[ 14 \cdot \frac{x+4}{2} = 14 \cdot \left(4 - \frac{x+6}{7}\right). \] This simplifies to: \[ 7(x+4) = 56 - 2(x+6). \] Distributing on both sides results in: \[ 7x + 28 = 56 - 2x - 12. \] This further simplifies to: \[ 7x + 28 = 44 - 2x. \] Now, let's add \(2x\) to both sides: \[ 7x + 2x + 28 = 44. \] Combining like terms: \[ 9x + 28 = 44. \] Subtract 28 from both sides: \[ 9x = 44 - 28, \] \[ 9x = 16. \] Now, divide by 9: \[ x = \frac{16}{9}. \] So, the solution set is A. The solution set is \(\left\{ \frac{16}{9} \right\}\).
