Answer:

34/5, or 6.8

Explanation:

4/x-6=5 is equivalent to 4=5(x-6) by multiplying x-6 to cancel out the x-6 in "4/x-6"

simplify it to get: 4=5x-30

add 30 to separate x: 34=5x

divide by 5 to find x: 34/5=x

Answer:

4 x − 5 = 6 4x-5=6 4x−5=6. Add 5 to both sides. Simplify 6 + 5 6+5 6+5 to 11. Divide both sides by 4.
