Answer:


-8 < x < 8

Explanation:

Your compound inequality will include two inequalities.

These are:

x > -8

x < 8

Put your lowest number first, ensuring that your sign is pointed in the correct direction.


-8 < x

Next, enter your higher number, again making sure that your sign is pointing in the correct direction.


-8 < x < 8
