Math Helps

Ok, so my Geometry teacher gave us this summer packet to basically brush us up on algebera before going into Algebra II next year. I'm doing good so far, except I've stumbled upon a word problem. These kind of problems always confused me :/ Could you guys help? The problem is: The sum of 4 times a number and 5 is -7. Find the number.
