To solve the equation \( 5(x - 4) = 6 \), follow these steps:
1. Distribute the 5 on the left side:
\[
5x - 20 = 6
\]
2. Add 20 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[
5x = 26
\]
3. Divide both sides by 5 to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{26}{5}
\]
Thus, \( x \) equals \( \frac{26}{5} \) or 5.2.
