solve this problem by writing and solving an inequality in 3-5 sentences and show your work. five more than for times a number is less than 25. what are all possible values of this number?

Answer 1

Let's call the number we're looking for "x". The problem states that "five more than four times a number is less than 25". Translating this into an inequality, we get 4x + 5 < 25. We can now solve this inequality step by step. Subtracting 5 from both sides, we have 4x < 20. Finally, dividing both sides by 4, we get x < 5. Therefore, all possible values for the number (x) are any real number less than 5.
