-5(4x+7)<25
Use distributive property(Multiply -5 by 4x and 7).
-20x - 35<25
Add 35 to both sides
-20x< 60
Divide both sides by -20 so that the only thing remaining on the left side is the variable x. *Note: When you divide a negative number on both sides of the inequality, the greater than/less than sign flips to it's opposite.
Final Answer: x> -3
