4x^{2}+16x+16-4x\left(x+5\right)<0
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x^{2}+4x+4.
4x^{2}+16x+16-4x^{2}-20x<0
Use the distributive property to multiply -4x by x+5.
16x+16-20x<0
Combine 4x^{2} and -4x^{2} to get 0.
-4x+16<0
Combine 16x and -20x to get -4x.
-4x<-16
Subtract 16 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x>\frac{-16}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4. Since -4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x>4
Divide -16 by -4 to get 4.
