Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.
27<5x+7

Step 2: Flip the equation.
5x+7>27

Step 3: Subtract 7 from both sides.
5x+7- 7 >27-7

The 7 cancels out on the left side and the right side becomes a 20

5x>20

Divide both sides by 5
5x>20
*5 *5

X>4

Answer:


27 < 3 + 5x + 4 \\ 27 < 7 + 5x \\ 27 - 7 < 5x \\ 20 < 5x \\5x > 20 \\ x > (20)/(5) \\ \boxed{x > 4}

x>4 is the right answer.
