Final answer:

To solve the compound inequality 4y - 2 < -14 and 3y - 6 < 6, solve each inequality separately and find the intersection of the solutions. The solution in interval notation is (-∞, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the compound inequality 4y - 2 < -14 and 3y - 6 < 6, we need to solve each inequality separately and then find the intersection of the solutions.

  1. Solving 4y - 2 < -14:
    Add 2 to both sides: 4y < -12
    Divide by 4: y < -3
  2. Solving 3y - 6 < 6:
    Add 6 to both sides: 3y < 12
    Divide by 3: y < 4

The intersection of the solutions is y < -3 AND y < 4. When we combine these two inequalities, we get y < -3.

Therefore, the solution in interval notation is (-∞, -3).
