    26/5 or Simplified form would be 5.2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Distribute 5 to (x-4) by multiplying them.

    5x-20=6

    2. Add 20 to 6.

    5x=20 plus 6.

    3. Divide 5 to 26.

    5x divided by 26.

    Answer: It would be 26/5 but simplified it would be 5.2

    You do 5 times x and 5 times 4 and you'd end up with equation that says 5x-4=6. The you add 4 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the 4. Your equation should now say 5x=10. You divide both sides by 5 and you have your answer x=2
