Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the compound inequality -4x-1 > 15 or 5x-3 > -8, we need to solve each inequality separately and then combine the solutions.

Starting with -4x-1 > 15:

-4x-1 > 15
-4x > 16
x < -4

Now, solving 5x-3 > -8:

5x-3 > -8
5x > -5
x > -1

Combining the solutions, we get:

-4 < x < -1

So, the correct answer is: x is between -4 and -1.
