It appears as if you have not added compile statement to your dependencies.

Try this-

dependencies {
    ...
    compile "com.android.support:support-core-utils:25.1.0"
}

This should go in the module's build.gradle file, not in the project's one.

Like this-

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 20
    ...
}

dependencies {
    ...
    compile "com.android.support:support-core-utils:25.1.0"
}

Refer to docs for more info.
