What is the value of x?

x/4-5=6

x=

Karen buys pounds of flour. She uses 2.5 pounds to bake bread. She keeps the rest of the flour in a small storage bags. If each storage bag contains 2/5 pound of flour, how many storage bags does she use?

Multiply both sides by 4.

x - 20 = 24

Take it from here.

To solve for the value of x in the equation (x/4) - 5 = 6, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

Step 1: Add 5 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -5 term:
(x/4) - 5 + 5 = 6 + 5

Simplifying, we have:
(x/4) = 11

Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to get rid of the fraction (x/4):
4 * (x/4) = 11 * 4

Simplifying further, we have:
x = 44

Therefore, the value of x is 44.
