-2(5x+1)>48     divide both sides by -2

Note that, when we multiply or divide by a negative in an inequality, we must reverse the direction of the inequality sign  ......!!!!.......so we have......

5x + 1 < -24       subtract 1 from both sides

5x < -25              divide by 5 on both sides

x < -5
