Question

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. (4 points) write it in 2 - 3 sentences like a human 7th grader would with semi-formal grammar

Answer 1

put normal numbrs

Answer 2

Let the unknown number be represented by \( x \). We can turn the problem into an inequality: \( 4x + 5 < 25 \). To solve it, we first subtract 5 from both sides, giving us \( 4x < 20 \), and then we divide both sides by 4, resulting in \( x < 5 \). This means the possible values for the number \( x \) are all numbers less than 5.
