We will use x as our variable.
We know that x must be greater than -4, so -4<x
We also know that x must be less than 6, so x<6
If you were to put these together, you would get the compound inequality -4<x<6.
If you wanted to include -4 and 6 (you don't for the is question, but for future reference), use ≤ and ≥ instead of < and >.
