Answer:

D: 4

Explanation:

1) Make the 1/4 into 5/20 by multiplying top and bottom by 5/5

x/5 - 5/20 = 11/20

2) Move the 5/20 to the other side

x/5 = 11/20 + 5/20

3) Add the 2 fractions on the right

x/5 = 16/20

4) Make the fraction on the right have a denominator of 5 by dividing top and bottom by 4/4

x/5 = 4/5

5) Multiply both sides by 5

x = 4

The missing numerator is 4.
