The area of the rectangular wall is (6x + 7)(8x + 5).
The area of the planned mural is (x + 4)(2x + 5).
The area of the remaining wall is the difference between these two areas, which is (6x + 7)(8x + 5) - (x + 4)(2x + 5).
Expanding the expressions, we get 48x^2 + 82x + 35 - 2x^2 - 5x - 20.
Combining like terms, we get 46x^2 + 77x + 15.
So the area of the remaining wall is 46x^2 + 77x + 15. Answer: \boxed{46x^2 + 77x + 15}.
