-17%3C=4x-4%3C=-3 Start with the given compound inequality.


-17%2B4%3C=4x%3C=-3%2B4 Add 4 to all sides


-13%3C=4x%3C=1 Combine like terms.


%28-13%29%2F4%3C=x%3C=1%2F4 Divide all sides by 4.


So the answer is -13%2F4%3C=x%3C=1%2F4


So the answer in interval notation is []


Also, the answer in set-builder notation is
