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.
?? Please be right this is a test
Let's assume the number we are looking for is represented by the variable "x".
The problem states that "Five more than four times a number is less than 25", so we can write this as inequality:
4x + 5 < 25
Now, we can solve this inequality:
Subtract 5 from both sides:
4x < 25 - 5
4x < 20
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate the variable x:
x < 20/4
x < 5
So, the possible values for the number (x) are all real numbers less than 5.
