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.
