Solve this problem by writing and solving an inequality five more than 4 times a number is less than 24

Answer 1

Let the number be x.

The inequality is given by:
5 + 4x < 24

To solve for x, we can subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality:
4x < 19

Finally, we can divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to isolate the variable:
x < 19/4
