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: \[ (-1, \frac{13}{4}] \]
