Let's assume the number is represented as "x". The expression "five more than four times a number" can be written as 4x + 5. Based on the problem statement, this expression is less than 25, so we can write the inequality as 4x + 5 < 25. To solve for x, we start by subtracting 5 from both sides, resulting in 4x < 20. Finally, to isolate x, we divide both sides by 4, giving us x < 5. Therefore, the possible values for the number are any real number less than 5.
