Answer:

x ≠ -3

Explanation:

Adding 4x-72 to the first inequality gives ...

-12 < 4x

-3 < x . . . . . divide by 4

Adding -11 to the second inequality gives ...

14x < -42

x < -3 . . . . divide by 14

Now we have ...

x < -3 or x > -3

The solution is x ≠ -3.

_____

The graph of the solution set is the entire number line with a "hole" at -3. The number -3 is the only value not part of the solution set.
