Question

Solve this problem by writing inequality and solving inequality. Five more than four times. A number is less than 25. What are the possible values for the numbers? Show your work.

Answer 1

Let's assume the number we are trying to find is represented by the variable "x."

According to the information given, the inequality can be written as:

4x + 5 < 25

Now, let's solve this inequality:

Subtracting 5 from both sides:
4x < 20

Dividing both sides by 4:
x < 5

Therefore, the possible values for the numbers would be any real number less than 5.
