Question

plASE BE RIGHT THIS IS A TEST

Answer 1

Let's represent the unknown number as "x".

The problem states: "Five more than four times a number is less than 25."

We can translate this sentence into an inequality as follows:

4x + 5 < 25

Now, let's solve the inequality for the possible values of the number:

4x + 5 < 25
Subtract 5 from both sides:
4x < 20
Divide both sides by 4:
x < 5

Therefore, the possible values for the number (x) are any real numbers less than 5.
