A student is asked to solve the following word problem: 'A person has a collection of items. The number of items is divisible by 5. If they acquire 10 more items, they will have a total of less than 50 items. What is the maximum possible original number of items in the collection?' The student's reasoning is outlined below. Identify the step that contains the first logical error.
- Let 'x' be the original number of items. The first condition states that 'x' must be a multiple of 5 (e.g., 5, 10
