Solution Steps

To solve the given inequalities, we need to handle each inequality separately. For the first inequality, \(-7x - 6 > -55\), we will isolate \(x\) by adding 6 to both sides and then dividing by -7, remembering to reverse the inequality sign. For the second inequality, \(-2x + 3 < 5\), we will isolate \(x\) by subtracting 3 from both sides and then dividing by -2, again reversing the inequality sign. Finally, we will combine the solutions using the logical "or" operator.

Step 1: Solve the First Inequality

The first inequality is \(-7x - 6 > -55\). To solve for \(x\), we first add 6 to both sides:

\[ -7x > -49 \]

Next, divide both sides by \(-7\), remembering to reverse the inequality sign:

\[ x < 7 \]

Step 2: Solve the Second Inequality

The second inequality is \(-2x + 3 < 5\). Subtract 3 from both sides:

\[ -2x < 2 \]

Now, divide both sides by \(-2\), again reversing the inequality sign:

\[ x > -1 \]

Step 3: Combine the Solutions

The solutions to the inequalities are \(x < 7\) and \(x > -1\). Since the original problem uses "or," we combine these solutions:

\[ x < 7 \quad \text{or} \quad x > -1 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -1 < x < 7 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{-1 < x < 7}\)
