Let's solve this problem, fam!
We can start by letting the number be represented by "x", because why not keep it real simple, right?
Now, "five more than four times a number" can be expressed as 4x + 5.
According to the problem, this expression is less than 25. So, we can write the inequality:
4x + 5 < 25
To solve this inequality, we need to isolate "x" by getting rid of the constant term, which is 5. We can do this by subtracting 5 from both sides:
4x + 5 - 5 < 25 - 5
4x < 20
Now, to solve for "x", we need to isolate it. Since 4 is multiplied by x, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 4:
(4x)/4 < 20/4
x < 5
So, the possible values of the number are any values less than 5, my fellow teenager!
Stay cool and remember to toss those inequality signs when dividing by a negative number, but we didn't need to worry about that this time.
