Twice the difference of a number and four is less than the sum of the number and five.

Let the number be x.
2*(x-4) < (x+5).
2x -8 < x +5 2x-x < 5 +8 x<13.
The number is less than 13.
That's it. Cheers.

The problem is an inequality in mathematics and can be expressed as 2*(x - 4) < (x + 5). By simplifying and solving this inequality, we find that x > 13. ;

The problem is an inequality involving the number x, leading to the expression 2 ( x − 4 ) < ( x + 5 ) . After simplifying it, we find the solution is x < 13 . This means any value of x that is less than 13 will satisfy the inequality.
