Answer:

c<5, and c>-4.

Steps used for answers:

5c+3<28 =

1. Subtract 3 from both sides.

5c<28-3

2. Simplify 28-3 to 25.

5c<25

3. Divide both sides by 5.

c<25/5

4. Simplify 25/5 to 5.

c<5

-----------------------

-4c-2<14 =

1. Add 2 to both sides.

-4c<14+2

2. Simplify 14+2 to 16.

-4c<16

3. Divide both sides by -4.

c>-16/4

4. Simplify 16/4 to 4.
