1. Problem Description

The problem is to add the expression 11x5x4\frac{11x}{5x-4} to 44 and simplify the result.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find a common denominator to add the two terms. The common denominator is 5x45x-4. We can rewrite 44 as 4(5x4)5x4\frac{4(5x-4)}{5x-4}. Now we can add the two terms:
11x5x4+4=11x5x4+4(5x4)5x4\frac{11x}{5x-4} + 4 = \frac{11x}{5x-4} + \frac{4(5x-4)}{5x-4}
Next, we combine the numerators:
11x+4(5x4)5x4\frac{11x + 4(5x-4)}{5x-4}
Distribute the 44 in the numerator:
11x+20x165x4\frac{11x + 20x - 16}{5x-4}
Combine like terms in the numerator:
31x165x4\frac{31x - 16}{5x-4}

3. Final Answer

31x165x4\frac{31x-16}{5x-4}
