a number was multiplied by -7 and the product was increased by -7. this sum doubled and the result was greater than 5 times the opposite of the number. what was the number??

So...basically what you are saying is: 2(-7x-7)>5(-x) In which case, simply solve for x

You won't have a specific number in this case. With the way you worded it, you will have a range of possible numbers. If the result was EQUAL to 5 times the opposite of the number, then you will have just one number.
