$x=14$

In order to solve this problem, we need to get rid of the square root on the left side. To do this, we square both sides:

$sqrt(x+2) = 4$
$x+2 = 16$

From here we need to get the variable alone. To do this we need to subtract 2 from both sides.

$x+2 = 16$
$x=14$

We then come to our answer.
Hope this helped!

Answer is 14

$sqrt (X+2) = 4$

Square both sides

$(sqrt(( X+2)))^2 = 4^2$

X +2 = 16

Rearrange equations by taking constant from left hand side to right hand side

X = 16-2 =
14
