Answer:

1 > x > -3

Explanation:

To solve the inequality 4 < -2x + 3 < 9,

4 < -2x + 3 < 9

-3 -3 -3

1 < -2x < 6

Next, we can divide all parts of the inequality by -2, but we need to flip the direction of the inequality signs since we are dividing by a negative number:

1 > x > -3

Therefore, the solution to the inequality 4 < -2x + 3 < 9 is 1 > x > -3. We can also write this as an interval: (-3, 1).

I hope that helps, if not I am truly sorry.
