Let x be the number we are trying to find. The inequality can be written as 4x + 5 < 25. To isolate x, we subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality, resulting in 4x < 20. Finally, we divide both sides of the inequality by 4, giving us x < 5. Thus, the possible values of the number are any value less than 5.
