plASE BE RIGHT THIS IS A TEST
Let's represent the unknown number as "x".
The problem states: "Five more than four times a number is less than 25."
We can translate this sentence into an inequality as follows:
4x + 5 < 25
Now, let's solve the inequality for the possible values of the number:
4x + 5 < 25
Subtract 5 from both sides:
4x < 20
Divide both sides by 4:
x < 5
Therefore, the possible values for the number (x) are any real numbers less than 5.
