Let's call the number "x".
The equation to represent the given situation is:
4x + 5 < 25.
Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality:
4x < 20.
Divide both sides by 4:
x < 5.
The possible values of the number are any values less than 5.
Five more than four times a number is less than 25. What are the possible values of the number?
