Answer 1

Let's call the number we're trying to find "x".
The problem states that "Five more than four times a number is less than 25", which can be translated into an inequality:
4x + 5 < 25
Now, we can solve this inequality to find the possible values of x.
Subtracting 5 from both sides:
4x < 20
Dividing both sides by 4:
x < 5
Therefore, the possible values of the number "x" are all real numbers less than 5.
