Question

(in kids words) (make it a little bit short)

Answer 1

Let's call the number "x".
The problem says that five more than four times the number is less than 25.
So, we can write the inequality as 4x + 5 < 25.
To solve this inequality, we subtract 5 from both sides: 4x < 20.
Then, we divide both sides by 4 to isolate the "x": x < 5.
Therefore, the possible values for the number "x" are any number less than 5.
