5 times (5 times) the differnce (-) a number(x) and 4(4) is greater than (>) the quotient (/) 4 times the nmber (4x) and 6 (6)

5(x-4)>4x/6
5x-20>4x/6
treat > as an equals for nnow
multiply both sides by 6
30x-120>4x
divide both sides by 2
15x-60>2x
add 60 to both sides
15x>2x+60
subtract 2x from both sides
13x>60
divide both sdie sby 13
x>60/13
the smalles tnumber is the next number bigger then 60/13
