Solution

Sure, let's solve this compound inequality step by step.

  1. First, let's break down the compound inequality into two separate inequalities:

    -25 > -2x - 5 -2x - 5 > -29

  2. Now, let's solve each inequality separately.

    For -25 > -2x - 5, add 5 to both sides to get:

    -20 > -2x

    Then, divide both sides by -2. Remember, when you divide or multiply an inequality by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign. So, we get:

    x < 10

  3. For -2x - 5 > -29, add 5 to both sides to get:

    -2x > -24

    Then, divide both sides by -2. Remember to flip the inequality sign. So, we get:

    x < 12

  4. Therefore, the solution to the compound inequality -25 > -2x - 5 > -29 is x < 10 and x < 12. Since x must satisfy both conditions, the final solution is x < 10.
