if -5 and -1 represent solutions
This problem has many answers because inequalities
have infinitely many solutions.
The easiest one is
|x| > 0
which breaks into two inequalities:
x >0, x < 0

That has solution
<=============o==================>
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
(-∞,∞)
which contains both -5 and -1 as two of its infinitely
many solutions.
