To solve this inequality, we need to perform the following steps:

1. Distribute -4 to both terms inside the parentheses.
-4(4 + 7x) ≥ -7x + 5
-16 - 28x ≥ -7x + 5

2. Combine like terms on both sides of the inequality.
-28x + 16 ≥ -7x + 5

3. Subtract -7x from both sides of the inequality.
-28x + 7x + 16 ≥ 5

4. Combine like terms on both sides of the inequality.
-21x + 16 ≥ 5

5. Subtract 16 from both sides of the inequality.
-21x + 16 - 16 ≥ 5 - 16
-21x ≥ -11

6. Divide both sides of the inequality by -21 and remember to flip the direction of the inequality when dividing by a negative number.
x ≤ -11 / -21
x ≤ 11/21

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x ≤ 11/21.
