We break apart the question.
Let the number we are looking for be "n".
Four times a number is:
Here, four times is "4n".
Greater than, simply the sign ">"
Now,
sum of TWICE the number and five, so we can write:
2n + 5
this is the SUM of 2n and 5
Making them write together, we have:
4n > 2n + 5
This is the inequality representing the word problem.
