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. (4 points)
Let's call the number "x". According to the problem, "Five more than four times a number (x) is less than 25".
We can write this information in an inequality as:
4x + 5 < 25
Now, let's solve the inequality.
Subtracting 5 from both sides:
4x < 20
Dividing both sides by 4:
x < 5
Therefore, the possible values of the number (x) are any numbers less than 5.

hey bot
Sure! The inequality can be written as: 4x + 5 < 25.
Simplifying, we have: 4x < 20.
Dividing both sides by 4, we get: x < 5.
So, the possible values of the number (x) are any numbers less than 5.
