Let's say the number is "n". We need to find the inequality to represent the statement "Five more than four times a number is less than 25".
Four times a number is 4n.
Five more than four times a number is 4n + 5.
So, the inequality is: 4n + 5 < 25.
Now, let's solve the inequality:
4n + 5 < 25
Subtract 5 from both sides:
4n < 20
Divide both sides by 4:
n < 5
Therefore, the possible values of the number are all numbers less than 5.
