Answer:

The inequality is "-8 < x < 8" that can also be expressed as x > - 8 and x < 8

Explanation:

In this case there are two inequalities. The first one is for all real numbers that are greater than -8. In this case we will represent the real numbers as "x" and this inequality can be represented as:

x > - 8

The second inequality is for all real numbers that are less than 8, this can be represented as:

x < 8

To create the compound inequality we have two use both of the inqualities above:

-8 < x < 8

x > - 8 and x < 8

In this case we use and because the real number must satisfy both inequalities at the same time.
