Inequality for - 5 (4x+7) <25

-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
