Solve this problem by writing and solving an inequality five more than four times a number is less than 25 what are the possible values of the number show your work

Answer 1

Let's assume the number is represented by the variable x.

The problem states that "five more than four times a number (x) is less than 25". We can translate this into an inequality:

5 + 4x < 25

Let's solve for x:
4x < 20
x < 20/4
x < 5

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