Solution
- To solve the question, we simply need to interpret the question line by line.
- Let the number be x.
- "Four more than three times a number" can be written as:

- "Four more than three times a number is less than 30" can be written as:

- Now, we can proceed to solve the inequality and find the appropriate range of x. This is done below:

- This means that all correct solutions to the inequality lie below 8.666...
- This further implies that any number greater than this is not part of the solutions of the inequality.
- 12 is greater than 8.666
Final Answer
The answer is 12
