To solve the problem, we first need to represent the unknown number with a variable. Let's call the number "x." The expression "five more than four times a number" can be written as 4x + 5. Now, we know that this expression is less than 25, so we can set up the inequality: 4x + 5 < 25. Next, we subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the term with x, which gives us 4x < 20. Then, we divide both sides by 4, which simplifies to x < 5. Therefore, the possible values of the number x are all the numbers that are less than 5. This means that x can be 4, 3, 2, 1, or any negative number; really, it can be anything below 5!
