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)

Answer 1

Let the number be represented by the variable x.

The given information can be translated into the inequality:

4x + 5 < 25

Subtracting 5 from both sides:

4x < 20

Dividing both sides by 4:

x < 5

Thus, the possible values of the number are any real numbers less than 5.
