write it in a paragraph form, and in 1-2 sentences. write it in kids words plzzz

Answer 2

Let's represent the number as x.

The problem states that "Five more than four times a number is less than 25". Mathematically, this can be written as:

4x + 5 < 25

Now, let's solve for x:
4x < 25 - 5
4x < 20

To isolate x, we divide both sides of the inequality by 4:
(4x)/4 < 20/4
x < 5

Therefore, the possible values for the number are any value less than 5.

Answer 3

Sure! Let's solve this problem in a kid-friendly way. We are trying to find a number that, when we multiply it by four and add five, is less than 25. We can write this as 4 times the number plus 5 is less than 25. To find the possible values for the number, we need to subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to get 4 times the number is less than 20. Then, we divide both sides by 4 to get the number by itself. Finally, we find that the number has to be less than 5, so any number smaller than 5 could be the answer.
