-7%3Ex-4%3C=-1, strange way of showing the inequality. That is the exact translation. It is the wrong way to tell an inequality, but the best way to show what the description said is to split into two separate inequalities:

-7%3Ex-4 and x-4%3C=-1. You want the solution which is both of these.

-7%2B4%3Ex-4%2B4
-3%3Ex
AND
x-4%3C=-1
x-4%2B4%3C=-1%2B4
x%3C=3
-
-
Put together to use AND,
-3%3Ex AND x%3C=3
The common values of x for both of these is highlight%28x%3C-3%29.
