Answer 1

Let's represent the number as 'x'.
The given problem states that "five more than four times a number is less than 25".

We can write this as:
4x + 5 < 25

Now, let's solve this inequality:
4x < 25 - 5
4x < 20

x < 20/4
x < 5

Therefore, the possible values of the number (x) are any values less than 5.
