To write the inequality for this problem, we can use the expression "Twenty less than five times a number" which can be written as 5t - 20. Since this expression is "more than 50", the inequality is:
5t - 20 > 50
To solve this inequality, we can first add 20 to both sides:
5t > 50 + 20
This simplifies to:
5t > 70
Finally, we divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable:
t > 70/5
t > 14
So, the possible values for the number (t) are all real numbers greater than 14.
5t - 20 > 50
To solve this inequality, we can first add 20 to both sides:
5t > 50 + 20
This simplifies to:
5t > 70
Finally, we divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable:
t > 70/5
t > 14
So, the possible values for the number (t) are all real numbers greater than 14.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's correct the answer.
The phrase "Twenty less than five times a number" can be expressed as 5t - 20. The phrase "is more than 50" can be expressed as > 50.
Combining these expressions, we get the inequality:
5t - 20 > 50
To solve this inequality, we can add 20 to both sides:
5t > 50 + 20
5t > 70
Finally, we divide both sides by 5:
t > 70/5
t > 14
Therefore, the correct answer is that the possible values for the number (t) are all real numbers that are greater than 14.
