Just like solving an equation. Add -1 to both sides:
Multiply both sides by 
5x\ <\ \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)25)
Hence, the solution set is:
The only difference is when you have to multiply by a negative number. In that case, you have to reverse the sense of the inequality. Consider the following similar problem:
Add -1 to both sides:
Multiply both sides by 
(-5x)\ >\ \left(\frac{-1}{5}\right)25)
(Note sense of inequality reversed from 
to 
)
