Answer 3

Let's call the number "x". According to the problem, "Five more than four times a number (x) is less than 25".

We can write this information in an inequality as:

4x + 5 < 25

Now, let's solve the inequality.

Subtracting 5 from both sides:

4x < 20

Dividing both sides by 4:

x < 5

Therefore, the possible values of the number (x) are any numbers less than 5.

Answer 4

Sure! The inequality can be written as: 4x + 5 < 25.
Simplifying, we have: 4x < 20.
Dividing both sides by 4, we get: x < 5.
So, the possible values of the number (x) are any numbers less than 5.
