Answer:

x > 16/5 or x < -3/4

Explanation:

Equation 1: 5x - 4 > 12

Equation 2: 12x + 5 < -4

Equation 1: 5x - 4 > 12

add 4 to both sides

5x > 16

divide by 5 on both sides

x > 16/5

Equation 2: 12x + 5 < -4

subtract 5 on both sides

12x < -9

divide by 12 on both sides

x < -9/12

simplify

x < -3/4
