Answer: Choice A

x < -3 or x > 1

=====================================================

Work Shown:

Solve the first inequality for x

3x+2 < -7

3x < -7-2 .... subtract 2 from both sides

3x < -9

x < -9/3 .... divide both sides by 3

x < -3

Do the same for the second inequality

-4x+5 < 1

-4x < 1-5

-4x < -4

x > -4/(-4) .... note the inequality sign flips

x > 1

So either x < -3 or x > 1. This points to choice A as the answer.
