We are asked to find \( H'(7) \), where \( H(x) = x g(x) f(x) \).

We are given the following information:

\[
f(7) = 33, \quad f'(7) = -5, \quad g(7) = 7, \quad g'(7) = -4
\]

### Step 1: Apply the Product Rule

Since \( H(x) = x g(x) f(x) \), we need to differentiate this product of three functions. We'll use the product rule.

The derivative of \( H(x) = x g(x) f(x) \) can be computed as:

\[
H'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left( x g(x) f(x) \right)
\]

We apply the product rule:

\[
H'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(x) \cdot g(x) f(x) + x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(g(x) f(x))
\]

First, the derivative of \( x \) is 1, so:

\[
H'(x) = g(x) f(x) + x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(g(x) f(x))
\]

Now, apply the product rule again to \( g(x) f(x) \):

\[
\frac{d}{dx}(g(x) f(x)) = g'(x) f(x) + g(x) f'(x)
\]

Thus,

\[
H'(x) = g(x) f(x) + x \cdot \left( g'(x) f(x) + g(x) f'(x) \right)
\]

### Step 2: Substitute the values at \( x = 7 \)

Now substitute the given values \( f(7) = 33 \), \( f'(7) = -5 \), \( g(7) = 7 \), and \( g'(7) = -4 \) into the expression:

\[
H'(7) = g(7) f(7) + 7 \cdot \left( g'(7) f(7) + g(7) f'(7) \right)
\]

Substitute the values:

\[
H'(7) = 7 \cdot 33 + 7 \cdot \left( (-4) \cdot 33 + 7 \cdot (-5) \right)
\]

### Step 3: Simplify the expression

First, calculate the individual parts:

\[
7 \cdot 33 = 231
\]
\[
(-4) \cdot 33 = -132
\]
\[
7 \cdot (-5) = -35
\]

Now sum the terms inside the parentheses:

\[
-132 + (-35) = -167
\]

Multiply by 7:

\[
7 \cdot (-167) = -1169
\]

Finally, add to the first term:

\[
H'(7) = 231 + (-1169) = -938
\]

### Final Answer:

\[
H'(7) = -938
\]
