For this case we have the following equation:

$\frac {u + 4} {6} = \frac {5} {4}$

We must clear the value of the variable "u":

Multiplying by 6 on both sides we have:

$u + 4 = \frac {5 * 6} {4}\\u + 4 = \frac {30} {4}$

Simplifying the right side of the equation:

$u + 4 = \frac {15} {2}$

Subtracting 4 from both sides:

$u = \frac {15} {2} -4\\u = \frac {15-8} {2}\\u = \frac {7} {2}$

Answer:

$u = \frac {7} {2}$
