Answer:

The inequality can be solved by isolating the variable x on one side of the inequality. To do this, we can first add 4x to both sides of the inequality:

-2 ≤ 4x + 3 ≤ 4

Next, we can subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality:

-5 ≤ 4x ≤ 1

Finally, we can divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to solve for x:

x ≥ -5/4 and x ≤ 1/4

So the solution of the compound inequality is x ≥ -5/4 and x ≤ 1/4

We can also express this solution in interval notation: [-5/4, 1/4]

Note that the compound inequality has two separate inequality signs, indicating that the solution is the set of all x-values that make both inequalities true.
