-12 < -5m + -7 < 8
\n" ); document.write( "=> -5m + -7 > -12
\n" ); document.write( "=> -5m - 7 > -12
\n" ); document.write( "=> m > -5/5 = -1 ...(i)
\n" ); document.write( "Again, -5m + -7 < 8
\n" ); document.write( "=> -5m < 15
\n" ); document.write( "=> m < 15/(-5) = -3...................(ii)
\n" ); document.write( "From (i) and (ii), we have
\n" ); document.write( "m > -1, m < -3. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
