To solve the inequality −4x−5<31, we can begin by isolating the variable x on one side of the inequality.

Adding 5 to both sides of the inequality, we get:
−4x−5+5<31+5
−4x<36

Now, dividing both sides of the inequality by -4 (remembering to flip the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number), we get:
x>-9

So, the solution set for the inequality −4x−5<31 is x>-9.
