First, solve the inequalities separately.

Let's solve the first inequality


Start with the given inequality.


Add to both sides.


Subtract from both sides.


Combine like terms on the right side.


Divide both sides by to isolate . note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


Reduce.


So the solution to the first inequality is

-----------------------------------------------

Now let's solve the second inequality


Start with the given inequality.


Subtract from both sides.


Combine like terms on the right side.


Divide both sides by to isolate .


Reduce.


So the solution to the second inequality is

===============================================================

So the two solutions are AND

So the question is now: what number(s) fall are BOTH greater than -6 AND less than 5? The answer is any number that satisfies the compound inequality . Basically, I combined the two inequalities above to form the final compound inequality.


So the answer is
