The given conditions can be expressed as the equation 4x - 15 > 49.
To solve this inequality for all possible values of x, we can add 15 to both sides to isolate the variable:
4x - 15 + 15 > 49 + 15
4x > 64
Finally, dividing both sides by 4 gives the solution:
x > 16
Therefore, all possible values of x are numbers greater than 16.
