The rule for multiplying similar bases with exponents:
(a^b)(a^c)=a^(b+c)
In this case we have:
(5^-2)(5^-1)
5^(-2-1)
5^(-3)
The rule for negative exponents:
a^(-b)=1/(a^b)
So in this case:
5^(-3) is equal to
1/(5^3)
1/125

1.
Calculate the sum
5x - 10 + 7 = 65 - 20x + 32
Move terms
5x - 3 = 97 - 20x
Collect the like terms and calculate
5x + 20x = 97 +3
Divide both sides by 25
25x = 100

I skipped some steps because it would be too long :/
2.
Multiply parenthesis by 8
20x>8(4x - 5) -20
Calculate
20x>32x - 40 - 20
Move variable to the left
20x>32x-60
Collect like terms
20x - 32x > -60
Divide both sides by -12
-12x>-60
