Question 583161: Solve and give answer in interval notation. (Show your work)
4 > -3m-7 ≥ 2

Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

We solve for m in the middle.

We begin by adding 7 to all three sides:

 4 > -3m - 7 > 2
+7       + 7  +7 
----------------
11 > -3m     > 9

Then we divide all three sides by -3.  But when (but only when) 
we divide through by a negatve number, we reverse the inequalities:


  <  < 

   < m < -3

The graph would be:

------⚪=====⚫-----
         -3     

And the interval notation for that is:

      (, -3]
