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) Make it short.

Answer 1

Let x be the number.
The inequality can be written as:
4x + 5 < 25.
Subtract 5 from both sides:
4x < 20.
Divide both sides by 4:
x < 5.
The possible values of the number are all real numbers less than 5.
