4\times 5>-8-7x
Multiply both sides by 5. Since 5 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
20>-8-7x
Multiply 4 and 5 to get 20.
-8-7x<20
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.
-7x<20+8
Add 8 to both sides.
-7x<28
Add 20 and 8 to get 28.
x>\frac{28}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7. Since -7 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x>-4
Divide 28 by -7 to get -4.
