Solution Steps
Step 1: Solve the compound inequality
Given the compound inequality:
\[
-8 \leq -4x + 5 < 9
\]
First, we solve the left part of the inequality:
\[
-8 \leq -4x + 5
\]
Subtract 5 from both sides:
\[
-13 \leq -4x
\]
Divide by -4 and reverse the inequality sign:
\[
\frac{-13}{-4} \geq x
\]
\[
\frac{13}{4} \geq x
\]
\[
x \leq \frac{13}{4}
\]
Next, we solve the right part of the inequality:
\[
-4x + 5 < 9
\]
Subtract 5 from both sides:
\[
-4x < 4
\]
Divide by -4 and reverse the inequality sign:
\[
x > -1
\]
Combining both parts, we get:
\[
-1 < x \leq \frac{13}{4}
\]
Final Answer
The solution set in interval notation is:
\[
(-1, \frac{13}{4}]
\]
