Answer 1

x<16

Explanation:

number n

eight less than four times a number ... 4 x n - 8

is less than 56 ... < 56

4 x n - 8 < 56

4 x n < 56 + 8

4 x n < 64/4

n < 64 / 4

n < 16

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let the number be x

Four times the number : 4x

Eight less than four times a number: 4x - 8

4x - 8 < 56

Now add 8 to both sides,

4x < 56+8

4x < 64

Divide both sides by 4,

x < 64/4

x < 16

Possible values of number = Value less than 16
