Answer:

(-5, -2)

Explanation:

Given inequalities:


4w+3 > -17


3w-6 < -12

Solve each inequality.


\begin{aligned}\implies 4w+3 &amp; > -17\\4w &amp; > -20\\w&amp; > -5\end{aligned}


\begin{aligned}\implies 3w-6 &amp; < -12\\3w&amp; < -6\\w&amp; < -2\end{aligned}

Therefore, combining the solutions gives:


-5 < w < -2

Therefore, the solution to the compound inequality in interval notation is (-5, -2).
