-168+%3C+11x+-+14+%3C+=+8 Start with the given compound inequality.


-168%2B+14+%3C+11x+%2Bcross%28-14%2B14%29++%3C+=+8%2B+14 Add 14 to all sides.


-154%3C11x%3C=22 Combine like terms.


-154%2F11%3Ccross%2811%2F11%29x%3C=22%2F11 Divide all sides by 11.


-14%3Cx%3C=2 Divide.

---------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution set is

-14%3Cx%3C=2


So the answer in interval notation is (]


So the answer in set-builder notation is


Here's the graph of the solution set

Graph of the solution set

Note:
There is an open circle at x=-14 which means that we're excluding this value from the solution set
Also, there is a closed circle at x=2 which means that we're including this value in the solution set.
