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)

Answer 1

Let the number be represented by x.

The inequality can be written as:
5 + 4x < 25

Subtracting 5 from both sides:
4x < 20

Dividing by 4:
x < 5

Therefore, the possible values of the number are all real numbers less than 5.
