Solve this problem by writing an inequality 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.(4 points)
Let's call the number we're trying to find "x".
The problem states that "Five more than four times a number is less than 25", which can be translated into an inequality:
4x + 5 < 25
Now, we can solve this inequality to find the possible values of x.
Subtracting 5 from both sides:
4x < 20
Dividing both sides by 4:
x < 5
Therefore, the possible values of the number "x" are all real numbers less than 5.
