Answer:


x > -6

Explanation:

Solve the following inequality:


x + 7 < 4x + 25

-Take
4x and subtract it from
x :


x - 4x + 7 < 4x - 4x + 25


-3x + 7 < 25

-Subtract
7 on both sides:


-3x + 7 - 7< 25 - 7


-3x < 18

-When you are dividing an integer by a negative integer, then the inequality sign changes. So, Take
-3x and divide it on both sides:


(-3x)/(-3) < (18)/(-3)


x > -6

Therefore, the answer is
x > -6.
