Let's call the number "x". According to the problem, "Five more than four times a number (x) is less than 25".
We can write this information in an inequality as:
4x + 5 < 25
Now, let's solve the inequality.
Subtracting 5 from both sides:
4x < 20
Dividing both sides by 4:
x < 5
Therefore, the possible values of the number (x) are any numbers less than 5.

Sure! The inequality can be written as: 4x + 5 < 25.
Simplifying, we have: 4x < 20.
Dividing both sides by 4, we get: x < 5.
So, the possible values of the number (x) are any numbers less than 5.
Simplifying, we have: 4x < 20.
Dividing both sides by 4, we get: x < 5.
So, the possible values of the number (x) are any numbers less than 5.
